Incursions
FOX Undercover revealed that there have been 34 runway
incursions at Logan Airport from 2009 until February 2012
3. The Need
• Runway incursions remain a problem
• Taxiway collisions are more frequent
4. • Last year, an MIT statistics professor determined that
the death risk for passengers of commercial airlines is
one in 45 million flights.
• According to The New York Times, a traveler could fly
every day for 123,000 years and still be safe.
• fatalities per 100 million passenger miles
• 0.003 Schedules Airlines
• 0.05 in Commercial Busses
• 0.06 Passenger Trains
• 0.61 in Automobiles
• Air travel is also safer than walking. Traffic-related
pedestrian accidents account for 1.58 deaths for every
100,000 people, according to the CDC.
5. The Need
• Runway incursions remain a problem
• Taxiway collisions are more prominent
• Regulatory changes made to improve safety
6. The Need
• Runway incursions remain a problem
• Taxiway collisions are more prominent
• Regulatory changes made to improve safety
• Regulation being imposed
The FAA "highly recommends … a proactive
approach by reviewing all approach
surfaces in advance of any flight check … to
ensure they are clear, including any planned
approaches … on the ALP," noting that, "if
obstacle penetrations [are
uncovered], there is a limited amount of
time to act before procedures are
impacted."
7. The Need
• Runway incursions remain a problem
• Taxiway collisions are more prominent
• Regulatory changes made to improve safety
• “NextGen” technologies being imposed
• Older and newer data mixed creates confusion
8. The Need
• Runway incursions remain a problem
• Taxiway collisions are more prominent
• Regulatory changes made to improve safety
• “NextGen” technologies being imposed
• Older and newer data mixed creates confusion
• Increased effort required
• Update airport signage & marking
• Identify and remove obstacles
