Reports Needed for ASRS Study
Non-Tower Airport Runway Incursion Incidents
“Runway incursions” are defined in a number of different ways within the aviation industry. In ASRS usage, a runway incursion occurs when an aircraft crosses a hold line, or enters a runway, in violation of standard Tower or non-Tower airport operating procedures. The FAA definition of a runway incursion includes air traffic controller and vehicle-pedestrian actions, as well as aircraft-related actions. Related runway incursion data collected by the FAA show a clear, and troubling, trend. From 1988-1999, the total number of runway incursion events at the nation’s airports increased 171 percent. During this same period, runway incursion events resulting from pilot actions increased even more dramatically – by 267 percent. Pilot deviations are now responsible for more than twice as many runway incursions events each year as air traffic controller or vehicle-pedestrian errors. In an effort to reduce and eventually eliminate runway incursions, the FAA is gathering and evaluating additional sources of data on the causes of these events. The agency has a particular need for more information on runway incursions that occur at non-Tower, or Towerclosed, airports. Often the FAA knows what happened in a runway incursion event, but not why. Was the pilot familiar with the airport layout? Were airport signs, lighting, or marking contributing factors? Did language or clearance interpretation problems contribute to the event? Did radio communications play a role? What does the pilot believe caused the runway incursion? ASRS will immediately begin contacting pilots who report runway incursion incidents that fit these criteria to request their voluntary participation in a telephone survey (“structured callback”). Reporter participation in the survey is strongly encouraged. All personally identifying information (names, company affiliations, etc.) will be removed before the ASRS research data are given to the FAA.
How the Interviews Work
Pilots who experience runway incursions may participate in the ASRS study by reporting their incident on a NASA pilot reporting form obtained from their company, a Flight Service Station, or from the ASRS web site (http:// asrs.arc.nasa.gov/ forms_nf.htm). ASRS will contact reporters to solicit participation in the study, and set up interview appointments. The telephone surveys will last 45 minutes to 1 hour. Reporters will receive their ID strips back–with no record of their identity retained by ASRS–as soon as the interview is complete. ASRS will provide a de-identified summary of the data collected to the FAA for its use in developing runway incursion prevention measures.
FAA Partners in Safety
The FAA is currently giving high priority to a number of education and training initiatives as part of its Runway Safety Program. More information on these initiatives is available from the FAA Runway Safety Program web site at http://www.faa.gov/runwaysafety/. The FAA is being joined in its safety efforts by a number of aviation industry partners. Partner organizations include the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), National Business Aviation Association (NBAA), and National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA). To support FAA and industry efforts to improve the safety of airport surface operations, ASRS strongly encourages pilots who experience runway incursions to report these events to the Program, and to participate in the runway incursions study.
ASRS to Conduct Runway Incursions Survey
The FAA has asked ASRS to help identify the factors and events that contribute to runway incursion events by pilots. The ASRS is interested in receiving pilot reports of occurrences where an aircraft crossed a runway hold line, or entered a runway, in violation of standard non-Tower airport operating procedures. The incident must have occurred at a non-Tower airport, or at an airport where the Control Tower was not in operation. ASRS has a special interest in reports of “critical” runway incursion events – those involving a serious hazard or near-collision. The incidents reported should have occurred within the last six months. Reports from both general aviation and air carrier pilots will be needed for the study.
