The FAA is happy to release the newest animation to the Runway Safety Pilot Simulator (www.runwaysafetysimulator.com). This animation, “The Anatomy of a Wrong Surface Event” is the third and final episode in a series focusing on causal factors for wrong surface events, such as incorrect runway or taxiway approaches, landings, or departures. Specifically, this episode highlights the importance of training elements that contribute to wrong surface events and other runway incursions. This animation contains several key takeaways for Flight Instructors.
Also, don’t forget to incorporate our From the Flight Deck (www.faa.gov/go/fromtheflightdeck) videos into your preflight planning regimen. These valuable videos highlight common errors and complex areas at airports near you. It’s better to know before you go!
Fly Safe,
