NTSB Forum : Runway Incursion Safety Issues, Prevention, and
Mitigation
NTSB Boardroom and Conference Center
9/19/2017 9:00 AM
Runway incursions will be the topic of discussion during an NTSB forum
scheduled for September 19 and 20, 2017, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (EDT), at
the NTSB's headquarters in Washington, DC.
The forum, titled "Runway Incursion Safety Issues, Prevention, and
Mitigation," will focus attention on and raise awareness of runway incursion
safety issues, promote and facilitate dialogue among government and industry
officials to better define the issues, and determine how to effectively address
these issues to improve safety.
"The worst accident in aviation history was a runway incursion and
collision at Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, on March 27, 1977," said Member
Christopher Hart, who will preside over the forum. "After declining for several
years, the most severe incursions have been on the rise since 2011, despite
several interventions. Our challenge is to understand the problem better and get
the numbers moving down again."
The 2-day forum will be structured as a series of panels in which invited
experts from federal agencies, airlines, and industry associations will make
presentations on relevant topics. After each presentation, a question-and-answer
period between the NTSB and the panelists will further explore the information
discussed. The topics for the panel discussions will be runway incursion
statistics and trends, air traffic control, operations, and airports. In
addition, the NTSB will host a roundtable discussion at the end of the second
day. All panelists will be invited to participate in the roundtable discussion.
Members of the audience will have an opportunity to submit questions to the
participants, and those watching the roundtable discussion remotely will be able
to submit questions via a dedicated e-mail address.
Representatives from the aviation industry are invited to display current
and planned technologies and research to aid in the prevention and/or mitigation
of runway incursions. Display space will be limited and allocated on a
first-come, first-served basis. Organizations interested in display space during
the forum should make their requests via this link no later
than September 5, 2017.
