Abstract:
Information provided through analysis of runway incursions is useful in many ways. Analysis of the errors made by pilots, controllers, and vehicle drivers is the first step toward developing error mitigation strategies. Furthermore, successful design of future systems requires knowledge of characteristics of the incursions experienced today as well as the successes and limitations of previously implemented strategies This paper explores what is known about the human errors and other factors that have been identified as contributing to runway incursions, and offers some error mitigation strategies. The data presented will be useful in helping to design the most effective tools for safety, increasing capacity, and for estimating the safety benefits of proposed system enhancements.
In fiscal year (FY) 2012, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Airports (ARP) initiated a research study to identify and geographically...
Pilots, controllers, and ground-vehicle operators all have an important role in runway safety. Their actions, either individually or collectively can ...
