ICAO-ANB MAKING OF A SARP

Challenges  Capacity ✓ Airport congestion ✓ NextGen/SESAR  Safety ✓ Airside accidents/incidents ✓ Runway safety  New larger Aircraft ✓ A-380, B747-8 ICAO-ANB

ICAO USOAP Audit -AGA  Among top non-satisfactory areas: ✓ Aerodrome certification ✓ SMS ✓ Runway end safety areas (RESA) ✓ Runway friction measuring and reporting ✓ Aerodrome emergency planning/Rescue and fire fighting ✓ Bird/wildlife hazard control ✓ Surveillance programme ✓ Training ICAO-ANB

Runway Safety  Runway Excursion  Runway Incursion  Other runway-related safety occurrences and activities ICAO-ANB

Runway Excursion  ICAO ADREP indicates: ✓ the highest single occurrence category of all accidents over the last 10 years ✓ 367 accidents and 140 serious incidents ✓ Percentage of RE accidents has been increasing, with 20- year average being 21.4%, last 5- year average being 24.1%, and 2009 alone being 24.5% ICAO-ANB

Runway Excursion  Runway friction measuring and reporting ✓ Annex 14 provisions ✓ ICAO friction task force (FTF) ✓ Circular on runway surface condition assessment  Runway surface contamination removal ICAO-ANB

Runway Excursion  Visual aids to assist pilots landing  RESA and associated mitigating measures ✓ Requirements on the provision of RESA ✓ Other mitigating measures including arresting systems ICAO-ANB

Runway Incursion  ADREP shows: ✓ 25 accidents and 98 serious incidents in the past ten years ✓ No significant decrease in the number of reported occurrences ✓ The average total annual number of occurrences reported to ADREP over the last 5 years is 26.4 ICAO-ANB

Runway Incursion  ICAO RI toolkit and Manual on prevention of RI  New provisions in Annex 14, Volume I: ✓ Enhanced taxiway centre line markings ✓ Enhanced mandatory instruction signs ICAO-ANB

Runway Incursion  ATM Procedures related to RI ✓ Aircraft shall not taxi onto manoeuvring area without clearance - Annex 2 ✓ Aircraft shall stop and hold at all runway holding points – Annex 2 ✓ Movement of personnel and vehicles must be controlled by control tower - Annex 11 ✓ Read back of clearances – Annex 11 ICAO-ANB

Runway Incursion  Use of surface movement radar  Standardized controller-pilot-driver communications ✓ FAA has recently adopted the use of “line up and wait” to harmonize with ICAO phraseology  Classification and reporting of RI  Future work on technological solutions to RI ICAO-ANB

Other runway-related safety occurrences and activities  Foreign object debris (FOD) ✓ Inspection ✓ Maintenance programme  Rescue and fire fighting (RFF) services ICAO-ANB

Examples of New Technology at Aerodromes  Technology to help prevent runway incursions ✓ Runway status lights ✓ SMGCS and A-SMGCS  Runway excursion ✓ Arresting systems ICAO-ANB

Examples of New Technology at Aerodromes  FOD detection  ICAO Performance Level “C” foam for aerodrome rescue and fire fighting  Pavement design ICAO-ANB
