How to Reduce Pilot Deviations • Educate yourself to recognize the potential for Pilot Deviations during all Areas of Operation • Create and demonstrate situations that will enable you to experience various types of Pilot Deviations first hand in the training environment. • Practice strategies to mitigate Pilot Deviations dependant on distractions and/or cockpit confusion.
Accident Rates by Time in Type • Time Accidents Fatalities • 0-100 46.9% 41.3% • 101-200 13.8% 17.5% • 201-300 7.6% 7.5% • 301-400 4.8% 1.3% • 801-900 1% 0.0%
Percentage of Accidents/Fatalities • Accidents and Fatalities by Phase of Flight Accidents and Fatalities by Phase of Flight
Types of Pilot-Related Accidents • Weather= 4% • Descent/Approach= 4.2% • Maneuvering= 5.3% • Fuel Management= 5.8% • Takeoff/Climbs= 11% • Landings= 32.9% • Others= 9%
Runway Incursion Challenge 58 million landings and takeoffs last year * Thousands of runway crossings per day! Human error is a certainty Technology has limitations Causes – Consequences are global in nature Source: * FAA Runway Safety Fact Sheet
Pilots are Very Confident by Nature and by Culture • I’m a professional! • I’ve trained hard and long for this! • I’ve done it thousands of times! • I’m current and very proficient! • What could possibly go wrong???
What can you do to reduce runway incursions? • Plan your surface operations • Employ cockpit discipline • Understand taxi procedures • Make proper use of aircraft lights • Use proper communication techniques • Understand/recognize airport signs and markings • STAY ALERT – Look both ways prior to crossing any runways!
Planning Surface Operations • Pre plan taxi routes at departure and destination airports • Ensure you have an accurate, up to date airport diagram available • Review NOTAM’s and ATIS for possible construction impacts – rwy/twy closures • Look for “hot spots” • Jeppesen airport diagrams – FAA charts
Verify Compass heading to confirm proper runway taxiway selection.
Cockpit Discipline • Minimize distractions during critical phases • Taxi for takeoff is where majority of RIs occur • Delay checklists until off the runway • Recognize when you need to have “heads up” • Any time the plane is moving but… • Especially when approaching a runway or an intersecting taxiway • Write down taxi routes and clearances • From RIIEP – 72% of pilots who had incursion DID NOT • Use the airport diagram during taxi • From RIIEP – 47% of pilots who had Rwy inc DID NOT • Verbalize critical instructions to other crewmembers • Hold Short or Crossing instructions
TFR – Temporary Flight Restriction • SFRA – Special Flight Rules Area • MOA – Military Operations Area • ADIZ – Air Defense Identification Zone • Prohibited – From the surface to defined limit • Alert – Informs of a high volume of aerial activity • Warning – Areas 3 NM beyond the US coast, possible hazardous activity
