Both the severity and the frequency of runway incursions were decreased in Calendar Year (CY) 2001 from CY 2000. However, it is far too soon to declare that a trend towards a systemic reduction is underway. The NAS continues to experience about one Category A or B runway incursion per week at towered airports, thereby making runway incursions a continuing threat to aviation safety. While work continues to identify why incursions happen and what steps can be taken to prevent them, there is enough fundamental information known to provide clear direction for planned interventions. Key points are: Operational performance in the airport movement area must be further improved to reduce runway incursions; Runway incursions are systemic, recurring events that are unintentional by-products of NAS operations; Operations must be standardized to reduce risk at a time when growth is challenging runway and infrastructure expansion; Collision-avoidance safeguards need to be developed for the high-energy segment of runways, where aircraft are accelerating for take-off or decelerating after landing; Human factors is the common denominator in every runway incursion. On the basis of data analyses carried out by the FAA and its partners in the aviation community, a core strategy has been developed for improving runway safety. It is structured around eight long-term goals and a set of supporting objectives. / Supplementary Notes: See also report dated Oct 02, PB2002-102432. / Availability Note: Order this product from NTIS by: phone at 1-800-553-NTIS (U.S. customers); (703)605-6000 (other countries); fax at (703)605-6900; and email at orders@ntis.gov.
