Reducing the potential for runway incursions and runway collisions is a top priority for the Federal Aviation Administration (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.
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. Come discuss what we all can do together to
make Ithaca Airport safer and improve our surface movement awareness.
Improving runway safety requires a collection of initiatives, each providing incremental benefit. This shared responsibility is reinforced by a system of checks and balances including:
- Operational procedures, such as pilot read backs 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
