Runway SafetyRunway Safety

The general aviation pilot of all experience and certificate level occupies the majority of invasion to the runway every year - usually due to poor communication, failure to comply with signs and markings, or lost child is. Therefore, not being in the right place at the right time may be a disaster for pilots and passengers. Before the next flight, please check the runway sign, marker, taxi chart, using the resources provided with this safety focus.

The safety of the runway includes reducing damage that may occur in the runway. Safety means avoiding the use of incorrect runways due to inappropriate presence (intrusion) of the aircraft, improper exit (deviation), and confusion. Because of weather conditions and aviation safety, the state of the runway is the current state of the runway. Invasion into the runway involves an aircraft, a second aircraft, a vehicle or people. It is defined by ICAO and the US Federal Aviation Administration as "every incident at the airport, including the presence of aircraft, vehicles or people on protected areas designated for landing and takeoff."

The US Federal Aviation Administration publishes an annual report on runway safety issues on FAA's website. A new system designed to improve the safety of the runway like the Airport Sports Area Security System (AMASS) and Runway Consciousness Advisory System (RAAS) is described in the report. When the runway of San Francisco International Airport was invaded in 2007, AMASS hardly prevented conflict.

According to the US Federal Aviation Administration, the RWSL system acquires traffic information from the ground and entry monitoring system and lights the red paved airport light to indicate a potentially dangerous situation. The entrance light of the runway is located at the intersection of the guideway and the runway and lights up when entry or crossing into the runway is not safe. If the aircraft is in takeoff position, the runway is occupied by another aircraft or vehicle, and the takeoff is dangerous, the takeoff light will turn red.
