Narrative:

Flight dfw mia runway dry 50 degree flap landing. From a normal landing and rollout, I elected to taxi to end of runway 30 to exit. The nov/xx/95 10-9 airport diagram (enclosed), shows no overrun on runway 30. Mia tower suggested we encroached on the overrun. If there is an overrun, we could not distinguish where the overrun started and the runway ended. There were no lights illuminated at the end of runway 30. This confusion caused a delay exiting the runway. The lighting and painting on runways, txwys, and ramps at mia leave much room for improvement and enhancement.

Narrative: FLT DFW MIA RWY DRY 50 DEG FLAP LNDG. FROM A NORMAL LNDG AND ROLLOUT, I ELECTED TO TAXI TO END OF RWY 30 TO EXIT. THE NOV/XX/95 10-9 ARPT DIAGRAM (ENCLOSED), SHOWS NO OVERRUN ON RWY 30. MIA TWR SUGGESTED WE ENCROACHED ON THE OVERRUN. IF THERE IS AN OVERRUN, WE COULD NOT DISTINGUISH WHERE THE OVERRUN STARTED AND THE RWY ENDED. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AT THE END OF RWY 30. THIS CONFUSION CAUSED A DELAY EXITING THE RWY. THE LIGHTING AND PAINTING ON RWYS, TXWYS, AND RAMPS AT MIA LEAVE MUCH ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT AND ENHANCEMENT.
