Runway Incursion Avoidance

Runway Incursion Avoidance

Refresh: Runway Incursion Avoidance





Question to pilots:

In what phase of flight do you think the worst airplane accident in history happened? 

Answer:

You as a pilot would probably say in the air, but the worst accident in aviation history occurred on a runway in Tenerife Airport, Canary Islands 1977), but unfortunately, we have to say that the latest incident at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, 09/10/24, adds to another list of these very serious incidents for commercial aviation where a Runway Incursion is involved.

Types of Runway Incursions:

Pilot Deviations: Crossing a runway hold marking without a clearance or taking off or landing without a clearance.

Operational Incidents: Clearing an aircraft onto a runway while another aircraft is landing on the same runway.

Vehicle Deviations: Crossing a runway hold marking without ATC clearance.

Investigations of runway incursions have identified 4 Major Contributing Factors:

Failure to comply with ATC instructions.

Lack of airport familiarity.

Nonconformance with standard operating procedures.

Distractions during taxi operations.( Be Careful) 👇

The best way to avoid a (RI)  Runway Incursion is to make sure you understand.

(1) Where you are at?

(2) What you have been cleared to do?

(3) Where you are going?

Always Read-Back of a clearance and should never be replaced by the use of terms such as “Roger”, "Wilco" or “Copied”.

Confirm that the message has been correctly received, and if necessary, to correct any errors. 

Avoid an incident/accident is the key. Safety is Always.

What is a Runway Incursion?

Refresh: What is a Runway Incursion (RI)

What is a Runway Incursion?


A runway incursion (RI) is any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take off of aircraft.

FAA has made Runway Safety a top priority, with a specific focus on developing new and more effective RI avoidance strategies.

Runway Safety is a significant challenge and a top priority for everyone in aviation.

In the United States, an average of three Runway Incursions occurs daily. 

Each of these incidents has the potential to cause significant damage to both persons and property.

Runway incursions are a serious safety concern and have involved air carrier aircraft, military aircraft, general aviation (GA), and pedestrian vehicles.

Runway incursions have resulted in collisions and fatalities.

Fatalities have occurred at both towered and non-towered airports. 

A few seconds of inattention can cause a Runway Incursion.

Causal Factors of Runway Incursions:

Detailed investigations of Runway Incursions over the past 10 years have identified three major areas contributing to these events:

 1. Failure to comply with ATC instructions.

 2.Lack of airport familiarity.

 3. Non conformance with standard operating procedure.

Why do Scooter Accident happen?

Why do Scooter Accident happen?


Scooter riders pose huge risks to cars, pedestrians and themselves.

Disobeying traffic laws, are creating hazards for pedestrians or weaving in and out of traffic, vehicles and pedestrians can't always predict scooter behavior. 

Knowing how to avoid a scooter accident is the key to staying safe.

The irresponsability of those teenagers on the roads using this devices are very worry those days, not only in USA, in other countries too, they do not measure the danger driving this new scooters with any protection, no lights no helmet nothing.

And also no respect the speed limit and rules.

Few days ago, my Dash Camera on my car captured this irresponsible kid, his scooter passed me on the street overspeeding the limit signs 40 m.p.h on that road above that limit.

I didn't see any lights on the back of his scooter, only a white light in front of his scooter and without any protection as i mentioned before.

So, but the worst part was the infraction, the kid he did not using precautions approaching the intersection and run the red light and crossed it at high speed....putting the other drivers and pedestrians in danger.

My safety recomendations to all people who driving on the streets, should be very careful when you see scooters on the roads.

Currently, you see many scooters on the streets operated by young people who believe nothing can happen to them.

Safety is everyone's commitment, parents talk with your kids to teach that riding a scooter must respect also the rules on any street.

So, always try to avoid a major incident or accident also when you are in control of your car, never run a red light. Brake....Stop for your safety and the other people who are on the roads of any city, when the light turn green to read STOP.

Making the roads all drivers safe.

Icing in the Aviation Environment

            Icing in the Aviation Environment



All you need to know about icing conditions, when you are flying, and also the important to understanding various aviation icing types.

Pilots, remember always, Ice in flight is bad news, it destroys the smooth flow of air, increasing drag while decreasing the ability of the airfoil to create lift. 

So, your airplane may stall at much higher speeds and lower angles of attack than normal. 

You need to know well the concept that it can roll or pitch uncontrollably, and recovery may be impossible.

Aircraft icing involves the buildup of different types on the outer surfaces of an airplane.

You as a good safety pilot need to know the critical conditions when you encounter freezing temperatures.

Always remember what are the 3 types of ice in general aviation:

1. Rime Ice.
2. Clear Ice.
3. Mixed Ice.

Always Fly Safely!
