As defined by the FAA, what is a runway incursion?
Any occurrence in the airport environment involving an aircraft, vehicle, person, or object on the ground that creates a collision hazard or result in a loss of required separation with an aircraft taking off, intended to take off, or intedned to land.
What are three common examples of runway incursions?
Pilot Deviation: Crossing a runway hold marking without clearance from ATC.
Operational Incidents: Clearing an aircraft onto a runway while another aircraft is landing on the same runway.
Vehicle (driver) Deviation: Crossing a runway hold marking without ATC clearance.
Are there different categories of runway incursions
Yes
What are the different types of Runway Incursions
A, B, C, D
What is Category A of a runway Incursion
A: A serious incident in which a collision was narrowly avoided.
What is Category B of a runway Incursion
An incident where separation decreases and there is a significant potential for collision.
What is Category C of a runway Incursion
An incident characterized by ample time and distance to avoid a collision.
What is Category D of a runway Incursion
No immediate safety consequence.
What is a progressive taxi
ATC will provide a step-by-step instructions to guide you to where you need to go
What is a hold short instruction
When issued a hold short clearance, you should taxi up to the marking but not cross it without ATC clearance.
The marking indicates the location where you must stop to avoid entering the runway environment.
What does Line up and Wait mean
ATC instructions to enter onto the runway, but is not clearance to takeoff.
What is a LAHSO
Land and Hold Short
What does a LAHSO allow
simultaneous takeoff and landing operations on intersecting runways.
When is compliance required for a LAHSO
when the PIC determines it can be done safely.
What is an explicit runway crossing instruction
when ATC gives specific instructions to either cross of hold short of each runway
When are runway crossing clearances typically given
one at a time
