Preventing Runway Excursions Technical solutions International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations Preventing Runway Excursions Technical solutions From the Design and Manufacturing Sector By Claude Lelaie ICAO Global Runway Safety Summit

Main factors of Runway Overrun at landing International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations Today, main cause of accidents is Runway Excursion Main factors of Runway Overrun at landing No approved in-flight realistic operational landing distance Stabilization not achieved at 1000/500 ft Wind shift at low altitude Approach becoming unstable at low altitude Long flare Long derotation Late selection of engine thrust reversers Runway friction coefficient lower than expected Late/weak manual braking (w/o or after AB disc) Failure affecting the landing distances A vast majority of overruns at landing is avoidable ICAO Global Runway Safety Summit

But clear different design intents exist International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations ATC/Crews Operational Procedures Proactive On-Board Technology Airport Infrastructures FSF/IATA Approach and Landing Accident Reduction (ALAR) Toolkit Recommended ICAO Runway End Safety Area (RESA) Monitoring of some measured ALA aircraft parameters Honeywell SmartLandingTM Arresting System (EMAS) FAA Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) Aviation Rulemaking Committee (ARC) Monitoring of realistic aircraft landing performance Runway Condition Reporting Proactive On-Board Technologies are now available with different design philosophy Honeywell SmartLandingTM In addition to existing “Stable Approach” SOP, a software upgrade of existing E-GPWS designed to warn the crew when some ALA parameters (approach speed, slope and touchdown point) reach abnormal airline preset thresholds  Approved by FAA as a non interfering E-GPWS sub-function Airbus Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS) A software upgrade of TAWS / Airport Navigation, Flight Control, Displays and Flight Warning Systems designed to warn and guide the crew when a runway overrun risk is detected during short final and landing roll  Approved by EASA, based on FAA TALPA ARC outcomes, as a major aircraft modification under a specific EASA regulation set up for all aircraft functions intending to prevent runway excursions Airbus ROPS Like E-GPWS & TCAS, on-board technology will be key to mitigate Runway Excursion Risk But clear different design intents exist ICAO Global Runway Safety Summit

ICAO Global Runway Safety Summit International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations SmartlandingTM is a Honeywell function of the E-GPWS: Monitoring A/C speed and position vs. runway threshold Providing visual/aural annunciations to enhance crew awareness of unstabilized approach Based on tuning defined by Honeywell (speed, glideslope) or set by airlines (long landing distance) SmartlandingTM main monitorings: « TOO FAST » alert, « TOO HIGH » alert, « UNSTABLE » alert, « LONG LANDING » alert, ... TSO approval granted in 2009 As considered as a “non interferent” function, no demonstration is requested by FAA on SmartlandingTM tuning relevance ICAO Global Runway Safety Summit

ICAO Global Runway Safety Summit International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations A bit more on Airbus Runway Overrun Prevention System (ROPS) EASA consideration for ROPS certification Request to demonstrate the relevance of ROPS alerts and protections (no unprotected area, no undue conservatism) Principle: “If no ROW alert before decision point Then, thanks to ROP, no runway excursion While no significant increase of go-around rate” Translation into ROPS design objectives Continuous real time performance computation of predicted and remaining realistic operational landing distance Compare in real time with runway end Trigger, only when necessary, simple and clear alerts with simple SOP Guarantee both reliability and not excessive margins Ensure consistency with FAA TALPA rule and computation philosophy Avoid any additional tuning by airline In obvious complement of the necessary need to fly stable approach For other contaminated runway conditions, “SET MAX REV” callout will be triggered, the rest within the limit of physics, offering a partial but efficient crew assistance. 1st EASA Approval granted in 2009 (DRY and WET in a 1st step) ICAO Global Runway Safety Summit
