Title:
''Defensive Flying Begins at the Surface'
Topic:
AVIATION SAFETY-EDUCATION SEMINAR
Speaker(s):
Andy Ozols, DPE/FAASTeam Representative
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 risk and taking actions to reduce these risks. Join FAA Pilot Examiner Andy Ozols for the latest guidance from the FAA's Office of Runway Safety and approved training tools, guidance and tips on defensive surface operations. Limited to 20 seats. Proudly sponsored by the Stafford Airport.

Improving runway safety requires a collection of initiatives, each providing incremental benefit. Throughout the FAA, a variety of strategies have been employed to systematically reduce exposure to risk. There are multiple examples of advances through technology, infrastructure, tools, and training/safety promotion that demonstrate the concerted and wide-spread efforts to improve runway safety.
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. Getting around on the surface can be the most confusing segment of the flight, but learn from Pilot Examiners, Flight Instructors and Mentors about Taxi Into Position and Hold (TIPH), the Runway Incursion Information Evaluation Program (RIIEP), "Operations Lights-On" and Crewmember Crosschecks you can perform to guarantee your position on the surface. Mr. Ozols, retired airline pilot, will cover joint FAA and Industry training tools designed to sharpen your Situational Awareness. Take the Optional Test - Check your Score.
