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.

Startle Response / Aviation


 Startle Response / Aviation Safety

Loss of Control In-flight (LOC-I) remains one of the most significant contributors to fatal aviation accidents worldwide in general and commercial aviation.

Loss of Control refers to accidents in which the flight crew was unable to maintain control of the aircraft in flight, causing in an unrecoverable deviation from the intended flight path.

Fatal General Aviation Accidents often result from inappropriate responses to unexpected events.

Humans are subject to a “Startle Response” when they are faced with unexpected emergency situations and may delay action or initiate inappropriate action in response to the emergencyn. 

Training and preparation can reduce startle response time and promote more effective and timely responses to emergencies.

Pilot Error Accidents

 



Pilot Error Accidents

Pilot Error is an action or decision of the Pilot that, if not fixed and corrected on time, might contribute to the occurrence of an accident or incident.

Many Aircraft Accidents are attributed to "pilot error," as if there is a difference.

So another concept in human error is the error chain, in each Aircraft Accidents there are a series of errors that link together to form the error chain, is not broken on time to prevent the accident. 

In other words, if one link of the chain were broken, the accident would not happen.

Pilot Error, does not indicate that all errors are the fault of the Pilot. Sometimes other external circumstances are the cause of accidents or incidents.

Knowing why Pilots make errors is helpful in development preventing always more methods such creating more intense training programs and redesigning new strategies to avoid future accidents.

As Pilots commonly called Human Factors is about people, is about people in the working and living environments, and also is their relationship with the equipment procedures and the environment

Human Factors deals with errors that pilot make, and why these errors happened, and how we as pilotshow we can prevent them .

As I have mentioned, Pilot Error is given as the primary cause in the majority of accidents.

However, it is possible that Pilot Error can reduce accidents if the Pilot made a conscious decision to continue to improving every day about the concept of Safety and learn from the latest accidents happened in the past.

In my professional interpretation concerning and sharing this information, I want to help to understand when Pilots in general, are more likely to have an accident or incident , it does not mean to understand that accidents could be happen any time anywhere, accidents and incidents happen in seconds , no matter if you gathering to many flight time in your log book for many years , the best attitude to have is that every Pilot are vulnerable at all times and that should exercise caution all times.

Always improving your ability to learn, the best way is to learn is by being an active participant in the learning process, the more you process the information about why accidents happened, the better you will retain it.

We are humans and everyone makes mistakes no one is perfect in life, but the most important is the responsibility for avoid accidents, because sometimes accidents is largely the fault of people, not the machines the fly.

Think Safety all the time, Safety is our greatest commitment of all in this business; friends don’t let friends to forget Safety, be alert all the time in your flights, and expect the unexpected, always fly safely.

Spatial Disorientation Visual Illusions

 

Spatial Disorientation Visual Illusions



The purpose of this series of publications on my safety blog is to provide to fly safe.

So, I’m always focusing to provide safety to all of you pilots, who read my articles on this safety blog, and also the responsibility to be a good safety pilot consistently always.

What is judgment to you as a pilot? This question is not easily defined, but one definition in my personal view is that judgment is good, common sense, as applied to making of decisions, especially correct decisions, (Sense), so, common sense is generally applied to a person’s ability to act effectively and positively in any situation.

Accidents statistics indicate that the vast majority of aviation accidents are involve in pilot error.

Today, I want to refresh the memory to all pilots, that spatial disorientation in flight sometimes are difficult to accomplish, so, how does spatial disorientation affect a pilot?

Spatial disorientation can also affect instrument-rated private and commercial pilots in certain situations.

Spatial disorientation is more likely to happen when there is no visible horizon on a dark night or in Instrument Meteorological Conditions (IMC). If malfunctioning flight instruments, high workload or a failure in management to maintain a good CRM (Crew Resource Management), are present too, then the risk of spatial disorientation is increased.

Keep in mind, that general aviation airplane accidents are involving spatial disorientation.

Here are some tips for avoiding spatial disorientation especially during night flying.

Give your eyes time to adjust, beware of bright lighting, watch for false horizons, and always trust your instruments, you as a safety pilot will be contributing to keeping the skies safe for everyone.

And always remember spatial disorientation is well-defined as the inability of a pilot to correctly interpret aircraft attitude, altitude or airspeed in relation to the earth or other points of reference.

Understanding spatial disorientation is a key to fly safe. Avoid and spatial disorientation accident, refresh your knowledge’s and I recommend you as a good safety pilot, read more about spatial disorientation. Always Fly Safe!
