  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 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Causal Factors of Runway Incursions

  Causal Factors of Runway Incursions Detailed investigations of runway incursions over the past 10 years have identified three major areas contributing to these events: • Failure to comply with ATC instructions • Lack of airport familiarity • Nonconformance with standard operating procedures Clear ... surface operations. You must fully understand and comply with all ATC instructions. It is mandatory to read back all runway “hold short” instructions verbatim. Taxiing on an unfamiliar airport can be very challenging, especially during hours of darkness…

  Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Causal Factors of Runway Confusion

  Runway Confusion Runway confusion is a subset of runway incursions and often results in you unintentionally taking off or landing on a taxiway or wrong runway. Generally, you are unaware of the mistake until after it has occurred. Figure ... runway thresholds • Joint use of a runway as a taxiway Not only can airport complexity contribute to a runway incursion; it can also play a significant role in runway confusion. If you are operating at an unfamiliar airport and need…

  Chapter 13: Effective Aeronautical Decision-Making › Risk Management › Assessing Risk

  General Aviation (GA) Joint Steering Committee, the leading causes of accidents in GA are CFIT (see p.14-15), weather, runway incursions, pilot decision-making, and loss of control. These causes are referred to as pilot-error, or human factors related, accidents ... CFIT, runway incursions, and loss of control type accidents typically occur when the pilot makes a series of bad judgments, which leads to these events. For example, when the pilot has not adequately planned the flight and the pilot subsequently…

  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…
