  • Evaluating the Behavior of General Aviation Aircraft and Design of General Aviation Runways Towards Mitigating Runway Excursions
    Evaluating the Behavior of General Aviation Aircraft and Design of General Aviation Runways towards Mitigating Runway Excursions THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Eunsun Ryu Graduate Program in Civil Engineering The Ohio State University 2017 Master's Examination Committee: Seth Young, Advisor Mark McCord Philip Smith Copyrighted by Eunsun Ryu 2017 Abstract A runway excursion is an event whereby an aircraft has strayed from a declared runway during takeoff or landing. Runway excursions are the most frequent of all runway related accidents. Aviation authorities such as the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) recommend runway design standards with additional safety areas to protect an aircraft in the case of a runway excursion. Despite their precautions, runway excursions remain a significant issue in the aviation industry. Previous research on the development of runway excursion risk models focused primarily on commercial aviation with relatively little attention paid to general aviation (GA). In this research, to further understand the characteristics of general aviation runway excursions, various statistical analyses were conducted on several years of runway excursion accident and incident data from publicly available sources including FAA, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The analysis included the determination of potential differences in runway excursion rates between commercial and general aviation operations, operations at towered vs. non-towered GA airports, varying weather conditions and runway dimensions. In some instances, where data such as national totals of general aviation operations and flight hours was not available, estimation models were developed based on the known data for the State of Ohio.

  • How the Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Supports Investment in Ohio Airports
    How the Federal Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Supports Investment in Ohio Airports • 95 airports in Ohio have identified $828.3 million in unfunded improvements needed over the next five years that would be eligible for AIP grants. • There are 4,182 aircraft based at these airports, with 8.9 million enplanements each year. • Over the last decade, Ohio airports have received 882 grants worth a total of $868.1 million through the AIP. • 83 percent of that funding—$721.2 million—has gone towards projects that included the construction, repair, upgrade or rehabilitation of airport runways, aprons or taxiways.
