Incursions
FOX Undercover revealed that there have been 34 runway incursions at Logan Airport from 2009 until February 2012
The Need• Runway incursions remain a problem• Taxiway collisions are more frequent
• Last year, an MIT statistics professor determined that the death risk for passengers of commercial airlines is one in 45 million flights.
• According to The New York Times, a traveler could fly every day for 123,000 years and still be safe.
• fatalities per 100 million passenger miles • 0.003 Schedules Airlines• 0.05 in Commercial Busses• 0.06 Passenger Trains• 0.61 in Automobiles
• Air travel is also safer than walking. Traffic-related pedestrian accidents account for 1.58 deaths for every 100,000 people, according to the CDC.
The Need• Runway incursions remain a problem• Taxiway collisions are more prominent• Regulatory changes made to improve safety
The Need• Runway incursions remain a problem• Taxiway collisions are more prominent• Regulatory changes made to improve safety• Regulation being imposed
The FAA "highly recommends … a proactive approach by reviewing all approach
surfaces in advance of any flight check … to ensure they are clear, including any planned
approaches … on the ALP," noting that, "if obstacle penetrations [are uncovered], there is a limited amount of time to act
before procedures are impacted."
