Aircraft Accident Report NTSB/AAR-16/02. Washington, DC. Abstract: This report discusses the March 5, 2015, accident in which Delta Air Lines flight 1086, a Boeing MD-88 airplane, N909DL, was landing on runway 13 at LaGuardia Airport, New York, New York, when it departed the left side of the runway, contacted the airport perimeter fence, and came to rest with the airplane’s nose on an embankment next to Flushing Bay. The 2 pilots, 3 flight attendants, and 98 of the 127 passengers were not injured; the other 29 passengers received minor injuries. The airplane was substantially damaged. Safety issues discussed in the report relate to the use of excessive engine reverse thrust and rudder blanking on MD-80 series airplanes, the subjective nature of braking action reports, the lack of procedures for crew communications during an emergency or a non-normal event without operative communication systems, inaccurate passenger counts provided to emergency responders following an accident, and unclear policies regarding runway friction measurements and runway condition reporting.

  • Runway Safety Spring 2021 Report
    Graphical NOTAM Interface For Improving Efficiency of Reporting NOTAM Information April 2021 Design Challenge: Runway Safety/Runway Incursions/Runway Excursions Challenge E: Optimizing application of NextGen technology to improve runway safety in particular and airport safety in general. Team Members: Undergraduate Students: Matthew Bacon, Gregory Porcaro, Andrew Vega Advisor’s Name: Dr. Audra Morse Michigan Technological University Table of Contents | 1 02 Executive Summary Runway excursions are a type of aviation incident where an aircraft makes an unsafe exit from the runway. According to the Ascend World Aircraft Accident Summary (WAAS), 141 runway excursion accidents involving the Western-built commercial aircraft fleet occurred globally from 1998 to 2007, resulting in 550 fatalities; 74% of landing phase excursions were caused by either weather-related factors or decision-making factors (Ascend, 2007). One mitigation strategy is training pilots how to interpret Runway Condition Codes (RWYCCs) to understand runway conditions. Recent developments such as NextGen and Electronic Flight Bags (EFBs) have improved the quality of weather condition reporting. However, Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs), the primary source of runway condition information and any other irregularities in airspace, are still presented to pilots in an inefficient format contributing to runway excursions and safety concerns NOTAMs consist of confusing abbreviations and do not effectively convey the relative importance of information. The team developed an Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) user interface that provides a graphical representation of NOTAM and weather information to improve how pilots receive condition changes at airports. The graphical NOTAM interface utilizes Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) to receive real time NOTAM updates.

  • Development of a Bayesian Belief Network Runway Incursion and Excursion Model
    Proceedings of the American Society for Engineering Management 2014 International Annual Conference S. Long, E-H. Ng, and C. Downing eds. DEVELOPMENT OF A BAYESIAN BELIEF NETWORK RUNWAY INCURSION AND EXCURSION MODEL Lawrence L. Green Vehicle Analysis Branch (E401) 1 North Dryden Street (Mail Stop 451) NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton VA 23681 __________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract In a previous work, a statistical analysis of runway incursion (RI) event data was conducted to ascertain the relevance of this data to the top ten Technical Challenges (TC) of the National Aeronautics a nd Space Administration (NASA) Aviation Safety Program (AvSP). The study revealed connections to several of the AvSP top ten TC and identified numerous primary causes and contributing factors of RI events. The statistical analysis served as the basis for developing a system-level Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) model for RI events, also previously reported. Through literature searches and data analysis, this RI event network has now been extended to also model runway excursion (RE) events. These RI and RE event networks have been further modified and vetted by a Subject Matter Expert (SME) panel. The combined system-level BBN model will allow NASA to generically model the causes of RI and RE events and to assess the effectiveness of technology products being developed under NASA funding. These products are intended to reduce the frequency of runway safety incidents/accidents, and to improve runway safety in general. The development and structure of the BBN for both RI and RE events are documented in this paper. Keywords Runway Safety, Runway Incursion (RI), Runway Excursion (RE), Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) Introduction One focus area of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), enabled through the Aviation Safety Program (AvSP) of the NASA Aeronautics Research Mission Directorate and in cooperation with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), is to improve aviation safety.

Box 488, Ramona, CA 92065 Phone: 760-787-0016 www.ise.us 13 November 2019 (Revised) Mr. Alex Wilcox, CEO JSX 1341 W. Mockingbird Ln. Suite 600E Dallas, TX 75247 RE: ACOUSTICAL COMPLIANCE MONITORING & VALIDATION TESTING JSX AIRLINES OVERFLIGHT ACTIVITIES – NEWPORT BEACH, CA ISE PROJECT #19-012 Dear Alex: At your request, Investigative Science and Engineering, Inc. (ISE) has been retained to perform acoustical compliance monitoring and validation testing of existing overflight activities from John Wayne Airport (JWA), and their effects on the coastal Newport Beach / Balboa Island area. Our findings are presented in this summary letter report. Background and Need John Wayne Airport (FAA Airport Code SNA) is owned and operated by the County of Orange, and is the only commercial service airport in the county that provides commercial passenger and air-cargo service as well as being the primary provider of general aviation services. JWA’s location with respect to the subject study/testing area, and respective coastal overflight path (red dashed arrow), are shown in Figures 1 and 2 starting on the following page. Ongoing public concerns regarding general aircraft overflight noise from JWA has prompted JSX to explore modified flight operations to determine their efficacy in reducing overall noise exposure to the Newport Beach coastal area. Currently departing aircraft from JWA assume an approximate steady (linear) climb rate towards the coast, the so-called NextGen route, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. JSX is proposing a ‘modified’ flight path, which follows the same horizontal alignment as the NextGen path, but modifies the climb-rate to achieve a higher altitude earlier along the flight path, with the hope that this produces a smaller overall acoustical signature.
