Runway Safety

Postby nav123 on Mon May 12, 2008 10:04 pm GMT

Promoting runway safety (and avoiding runway incursions) is a major issue these days.
The FAA announced 2008 as the "Runway Safety" year.
So..... As we all know human factor (ATC and of course Pilots) is a major issue when it is related to preventing runway incursions.

Here are some links that will give you a good idea on the extend of this problem (Some of you will probably be very surprised with the statistics) and the ways to deal with it :

Hope all of us will find few minutes of our time to review those issue.
Safe operations to all of us ! :-)

great links. Our airline and my flight school actually made us take this online course.
An additional resource which also includes videos was made by the Airline Pilot Association (ALPA):
