  • FAA Annual Runway Safety Report 2010
    Air Traffic Organization Annual Runway Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Safety Report 2010 Washington, DC 20591 Message from the Administrator Dear Colleague: When serious runway incursions drop by 50 percent over the previous year, you know you’re doing something right. The good news here is every corner of the aviation community is sharing the success. From the airlines to the business aviation community to the pilots, controllers, surface vehicle operators and the GA enthusiasts who just fly for pleasure, everyone has taken a step up. The numbers alone tell the story. With almost 53 million operations in FY 2009, we had 12 serious runway incursions, down from 25 the previous year; two serious incursions involved commercial aircraft. Those are encouraging numbers. When we issued a Call to Action for runway safety almost two years ago, we as a community recognized the need to do a better job of keeping things safe on the airport surface. Even though the number of mistakes is infinitesimally small, given the number of successful operations per day, we nevertheless need to take every opportunity to continue to enhance surface safety. As you’ll clearly see in the runway safety report, that’s what is happening. The emergence of a “just culture” between regulator and regulated has played a huge part. Because we have so few data points, we need for the people in the system to be able to say, “Here’s a problem” without fear of penalty. As a result, we’re learning about the soft spots, the places, and procedures that need to change.
