  • Chapter 1: Introduction to Flight Training › Safety Considerations › Runway Incursion Avoidance

    Runway Incursion Avoidance A runway incursion is any occurrence at an airport involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground that creates a collision hazard or results in a loss of separation with an aircraft taking off, landing ... intending to land. The three major areas contributing to runway incursions are communications, airport knowledge, and flight deck procedures for maintaining orientation. [Figure 1-12] Figure 1-12. Three major areas contributing to runway incursions are communications with air traffic…

  • Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Runway Incursion Avoidance

    without authorization from air traffic control. In serious instances, any ground deviation (PD or VPD) can result in a runway incursion. Best practices in preventing ground deviations can be found in the following section under runway incursion avoidance. Runway Incursion ... Avoidance A runway incursion is “any occurrence in the airport runway environment involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground that creates a collision hazard or results in a loss of required separation with an aircraft taking…

  • CHAPTER 2. REDUCING GENERAL AVIATION ACCIDENTS › 2.3 Runway Incursion Risks and Avoidance › 2.3.6 Runway Incursion Mitigation/Avoidance

    Causal Factors of Runway Incursions. Detailed investigations of runway incursions since 2008 have identified three major areas (pilot errors) contributing to these events:3 1. Failure to comply with ATC instructions. 2. Lack of airport familiarity. 3. Nonconformance with standard ... deviations. Adverse weather, technology limitation, and complex airport designs are additional challenges that contribute to PDs such as runway incursions. 2.3.6 Runway Incursion Mitigation/Avoidance. As previously noted, runway incursions are generally the result of pilot error. To reduce this risk…
