Title:
Runway Safety Action Team Meeting
Topic:
Airfield Surface Safety
Speaker(s):
Robert Fletcher, Elmira Tower
Brief Description:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has made the reduction of Runway Incursions and Surface Incidents one of its top priorities. As part of this program, the FAA, in conjunction with airport authorities across the nation, is conducting Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) meetings at individual airports. The purpose of these RSAT meetings is to gather the individuals who are actively engaged in airside movements of aircraft and vehicles and have an open discussion on how to improve runway safety. The operation of the airport is discussed; both from the control tower and from the airport management perspective including the review of past runway incursions and surface incidents. As a result of the meeting, a list of recommendations is generated which are then tracked to completion. Join your pilot colleagues and be part of improving aviation safety at KELM!
