2. Runway Safety Initiative: Overview Flight Safety Foundation initiated the Runway Safety Initiative (RSI) to address the challenge of runway safety. Focus on: Runway Incursions Runway Excursions Runway Confusion Participants include: EASA, CANSO, IFALPA, FAA, Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, ACI, IATA, ERA, Eurocontrol, AAPA, and ICAO

3. Runway Safety Initiative: Initial Work Programme Initial work conducted: Categorisation of issues Categorisation of resources available Gap analysis Runway Excursion Brainstorm Categories Airport Issues New Technology Human Factors Procedures Training Information

4. Runway Excursion Brainstorm Categories ATC Statistics Policies Aircraft Airport Information Runway Confusion Brainstorm Categories Human Issues Data and Information Airport Issues Runway Safety Initiative: Initial Work Programme Gaps Identified: Runway Excursions Runway Confusion

5. Runway Safety Initiative Initial projects identified Identification of 6 Key Projects: Stabilized Approaches IFALPA, IATA, FSF Signage and Markings – Stop Bars ACI New Airport Layout ACI Contaminated Runway Operations IFALPA Runway Entry Clearances Eurocontrol ATC/Ground Operations/Flight Crew Resource Management CANSO

6. RSI Next Steps Development of framework for the “Action Plan on the Prevention of Runway Excursions”. Three main sections Identified: Incorrect Landing – ATC (Eurocontrol) Uncontrollable Aircraft (includes landing and RTO) – Manufacturers (Airbus) Post Accident Survivability/Recovery – Airports (ACI) Table of contents / stakeholders: ATC Best Practices Airport Best Practices Flight Crew Best Practices Information Management Other Key Sections: (Un)Stabilized Approaches Aerodrome Characteristics / Information Aircraft Characteristics/Behavior Pilot Technique Considerations: Develop or find an ICAO definition of Runway Excursion Develop a list of incident reports or even a way to collect incident reports Regulator support needed Next RSI meeting: January 2008, Miami

7.
