Definition:

A Runway safety issue is any safety issue that deals with the runway environment (or any surface being used as a runway) and the areas immediately adjacent to it (e.g. overruns, high speed taxiways).

• Runway Incursions

Runway Safety Issues

• Runway Excursions

• Runway Confusion

New ICAO Definition of Runway Incursion:

“ Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and takeoff of aircraft.”

Runway Safety Observations

• Severity of runway excursions dependent on:

- Energy of aircraft when departing the runway - Airport layout, geography, and rescue capability

• Data shows we are being effective in preventing runway incursion accidents, but the number of incidents and severity still indicates a very high risk• Data shows runway excursions are the most common type of runway safety accident (96%) and the most common type of fatal runway safety accident (80%)

Runway Safety Observations• New procedures (e.g. Auckland, NZ) may

be helpful in reducing the risk in some runway incursion and runway confusion situations – but not all

• In the case of runway confusion, many runway incursion interventions may be useful (e.g. moving map) • In the case of runway excursions, a major risk reduction factor is flying a stabilized

approach with landing in the touchdown zone

Basics

- Energy = Mass X V2

- Effect of reverse thrust is significantly greater on a contaminated runway

- Calculations and rules are important, but so is adhering to the conditions used to calculate them: * e.g. abort past V1 * Land long, land fast

- Stabilized approach with landing in touch down zone

The Way Forward

RSI Steering Team

Runway Incursions

Runway ExcursionsSupport and

Promote the many current efforts

* ICAO definition * Global Data Base

Lead the effort to reducethe risk of excursions

* Establish data team to determine highest risk areas and develop

interventions * Publish interventions and best

practices, e.g. - Stabilized approaches - No-fault go around policy - Contaminated runway data

• 3 Critical Items for success:

Basic Plan

1. Identify high risk areas (with data) 2. Develop interventions to reduce the risk in the highest risk areas

3. Get information out internationally * On a regionally tailored basis * In a user friendly format
