Brief Description:
Reducing the potential for runway incursions and runway collisions is a top priority for the FAA. Runway safety management is a dynamic process that involves analyzing runway incursions, understanding the factors that contribute to runway collision risks, and taking actions to reduce these risks. Attend this safety briefing and meet the "tower guys" and learn the inside story on how to communicate clearly and assure safe surface movements at Ithaca.

Safe and efficient operations depend on clear communication and smooth coordination among approximately 15,000 air traffic controllers, approximately 600,000 pilots, and a wide variety of airport vehicle operators. This shared responsibility is reinforced by a system of checks and balances including:
- Operational procedures, such as pilot readbacks of controller clearances
- Airport infrastructure, such as airfield signs, pavement markings, surface surveillance systems, and other safety technology
- Air traffic management, such as the coordination between ground and local control
- Training and awareness for the safe conduct of airport movement operations
Runway safety is a shared responsibility among pilots, controllers, and vehicle operators, all of whom constantly interact on the airport surface via radio communication, coordination, movement, and procedures. Technology, training, safety promotion, and situational awareness are key to reducing the severity and frequency of runway incursions.
Ithaca ATC will present a program on safe surface movement procedures, clearances and runway incursion avoidance. A great opportunity to meet the tower staff and ask questions about techniques that will aid in the smooth, efficient flow of traffic. East Hill Chief CFI will present pilot concerns and questions. Don't miss this opportunity to become a safer pilot!
Driving Directions: From Ithaca: Route 13 north to Warren Road. Left (airport signs) and continue a mile to airport entrance. Follow this (Brown) road straight past airlines to brick building with beacon on top: that's it!
