    Runway safety is a major concern as runway incursions can result in collisions between aircraft or aircraft and vehicles. The ICAO defines a runway incursion as the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a surface designated for aircraft landing and takeoff. Globally, runway incursions have resulted in collisions and fatalities. Factors that increase the risk of runway incursions include inattention, poor visibility, aerodrome complexity, miscommunication, and loss of situational awareness by air traffic control or pilots.

    Runway Safety

    Safety Net

    Runway safety is a major concern for the aviation industry. The reduction in Runway Incursion incidents represents an opportunity to enhance runway safety.
    ICAO defines a Runway Incursion to be Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take off of aircraft (ICAO Doc 4444PANS-ATM). Runway Incursions are a serious safety concern. Globally, Runway Incursions have resulted in collisions between aircraft, and between aircraft and vehicles, with many resulting in fatalities.

    Situational Awareness DO ensure you understand and follow all ATC clearances and instructions DO monitor the radio and use an aerodrome chart to assist you locating other aircraft and vehicles on the aerodrome DO advise ATC as early as possible if you anticipate a delay or are unable to comply with their instructions DO NOT allow yourself to be distracted by matters not directly related to the flight Aircraft Lights DO use the exterior aircraft lights to make your aircraft more conspicuous Communications DO use standard phraseology and pay close attention to ATC instructions when taxiing DO use good radio technique. Prepare what you are going to say, say it clearly and concisely and acknowledge all clearances If you have any doubt about an instruction or clearance, always seek clarification from ATC Aerodrome markings, signs and lights DO ensure you understand the meaning of visual aids on the aerodrome including markings, signs and lights DO NOT cross an illuminated stop bar The Runway Incursion Group (RIG) making runways safer for you The RIG is an Airservices Australia initiative. Members include CASA, Australian Defence Force, General Aviation and a major airline. The RIG actively follow up runway incursion incidents and liaise with stakeholders. For further information about the activities of the RIG contact: Glenn Morris Southern Safety Programs Manager Phone: 03 9339 2488 Email: [email protected]

    Why do Runway Incursions occur?


    Factors increasing the risk of Runway Incursions include: inattention or distraction poor visibility on the aerodrome aerodrome complexity use of non-standard phraseology leading to confusion or misunderstanding between pilots and ATC callsign confusion leading to pilot acting on an ATC instruction intended for another aircraft inadequate or confusing aerodrome signage loss of ATC and/or pilot situational awareness aerodrome construction work

    What can you do to prevent runway incursions?


    Planning your aerodrome operation DO take the time to thoroughly plan the surface movement of your flight DO use a current aerodrome chart for planning and have it available during taxi DO identify when you need to be in heads up mode on the aerodrome Taxi Procedures DO write down taxi instructions, especially those that are complex DO exercise caution if another aircraft has a similar sounding callsign DO read back all required instructions/clearances with your callsign
