  • FAA Annual Runway Safety Report 2009
    Air Traffic Organization Annual Runway Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue, SW Safety Report 2009 Washington, DC 20591 2009-AJS-129 A Message from the FAA Administrator Dear Colleagues: We’re making progress on the issue of runway safety, but as an agency and as an industry, we need to do more. This report details the strides we’ve made over the last year. It also includes our next steps to take what is arguably one of the safest locations in all of aviation— a U.S. runway— and make it safer still. In the long term, runway safety is very, very good. Last year, we had 25 serious runway incursions. That’s out of more than 58 million operations. Serious runway incursions have dropped by more than half since 2001. Nine of those 25 serious incursions last year involved commercial aircraft. The 25 incursions were up one from the previous year, which was an all-time low. But the 2008 totals show that we must increase our vigilance. Last year, runway incursions of all types increased by some 13 percent over 2007, rising from 891 to 1,009. So far in fiscal year 2009, the data look promising with a projected drop in total incursions for the full year by some five percent and an accompanying reduction in serious incursions by at least 50 percent. These data are encouraging. But while the actual runway incursion numbers are still a very thin slice of overall operations, as an aviation professional, I believe that very good is still not good enough.

  • Runway Safety Report Safety Runway
    FAA Runway Safety Report Safety Runway FAA Runway Safety Report September 2007 September 2007 September Federal Aviation Administration 800 Independence Avenue SW Washington, DC 20591 www.faa.gov OK-07-377 Message from the Administrator The primary mission of the Federal Aviation Administration is safety. It’s our bottom line. With the aviation community, we have developed the safest mode of transportation in the history of the world, and we are now enjoying the safest period in aviation history. Yet, we can never rest on our laurels because safety is the result of constant vigilance and a sharp focus on our bottom line. Managing the safety risks in the National Airspace System requires a systematic approach that integrates safety into daily operations in control towers, airports and aircraft. Using this approach, we have reduced runway incursions to historically low rates over the past few years, primarily by increasing awareness and training and deploying new technologies that provide critical information directly to flight crews and air traffic controllers. Other new initiatives and technologies, as outlined in the 2007 Runway Safety Report, will provide a means to an even safer tomorrow. With our partners, FAA will continue working to eliminate the threat of runway incursions, focusing our resources and energies where we have the best chance of achieving success. To the many dedicated professionals in the FAA and the aviation community who have worked so tirelessly to address this safety challenge, I want to extend our deepest gratitude and appreciation for the outstanding work you have done to address this ever-changing and ever-present safety threat.
