3. FAA Policy The FAA strongly recommends the following to promote runway safety: – 1. Training in runway safety and the specific Standard Operating Procedures contain in AC’s 91-73 and 120- 74 be incorporated in ground training and flight training conducted by air carriers and by all persons conducting training and evaluation under Parts 61 and 91. – 2. Standard Operating Procedures be implement and carefully followed during taxi operations.

4. FAA –H-8083-25

5. Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge Revised 2003 with new Runway Avoidance Information Provides basic knowledge that is essential for all pilots.

6. Pilot’s Handbook Info Proper planning can prevent runway incursion. Pilot should be aware of the airplane’s position on the surface at all times.

7. Pilot’s Handbook Info PRACTICES TO HELP PREVENT RUNWAY INCURSION – Read back all runway crossing and or hold instruction – Review airport layouts as part of preflight planning and before descending to land. – Review NOTAM for information on runway/taxiway closures and construction areas. – Request progressive taxi instructions from ATC when unsure of the taxi route – Check for traffice before crossing any Runway Hold Line and before entering a taxiway

8. Pilot’s Handbook Info – Continue: When landing, clear the active runway as soon as possible,, then wait for taxi instructions before futher movement Study and use proper phraseology in order to understand and respond to ground control instructions. Write down complex taxi instructions at unfamiliar airports

10. Flight Instructor PTS

11. Special Emphasis Areas The examiner shall place special emphasis on the applicant's demonstrated ability to teach precise aircraft control and sound judgment in aeronautical decision making. Evaluation of the applicant's ability to teach judgment shall be accomplished by asking the applicant to describe the presentation of practical problems that would be used in instructing students in the exercise of sound judgment. The examiner shall also emphasize the evaluation of the applicant's demonstrated ability to teach spatial disorientation, wake turbulence and low level wind shear avoidance, checklist usage, positive exchange of flight controls, Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO), runway incursion avoidance, and any other directed special emphasis areas.
