The Working Group for Runway Safety
The Working Group for Runway Safety has been in existence since 2002. This Working Group for Runway Safety is a cross-discipline and dynamic group of experts, all of whom have a passion for solving the problem of runway incursions. The European Action Plan for the Prevention of Runway Incursions is a joint piece of work, and since its publication early in 2003 progress has been significant. Awareness of Runway Incursion prevention is high, and work will continue. Very serious runway incursions are still happening today in the ECAC area, with little or no time available for the controller, pilot or driver to react. This newsletter is part of the campaign to raise awareness of the problems facing runway operations and one opportunity to share lessons learned about implementing solutions. I hope you find it of use and interest.
