This comprehensive program by the International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations aims to address runway incursions and confusion through flight crew awareness and innovative solutions like On-board Airport Navigation System. The program implementation considers fleet coverage for widespread safety benefit, equipping aircraft with smart runway alerting systems, and future studies for improved situational awareness. The initiative involves collaborations with government agencies and aviation industry stakeholders to actively enhance runway safety worldwide.

International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations Eliminating Runway Incursion and Confusion requires Flight Crew Awareness of: • Position of Own Ship on the Airport Surface, • Position of Other Traffic on the Airport Surface, • Taxi Route, • Conflicting Traffic.
International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations Program Implementation Considerations • Airbus solution to reduce runway incursion and confusion risk is based on On-board Airport Navigation System (OANS) • Superimposition aircraft real time position on an airport moving map • Improvement of flight crew situation awareness during airport surface operations • Selection capability of different modes and zoom with corresponding maps displayed on the Navigation Display • Triggering of graphical alerts on Navigation Display when aircraft approaches runways • Cornerstone for the integration of surface operations features (brake-to-vacate, taxi route, surrounding traffic, etc.) • Design philosophy • OANS is not a guidance system and displayed information must be correlated by the pilot with outside world • Implementation • New equipment: On-board Airport Navigation Computer (OANC) • DO272/ED99/ARINC 816 Airport Map Database required • Certification Date • A380: Certified and in-service since 2007 • A320 family: Q1 2012 • A330/A340: Q2 2012 • A350XWB: At Entry-Into-Service
International Coordinating Council of Aerospace Industries Associations Program Implementation Considerations • Significant fleet coverage needed to achieve widespread safety benefit. • New, Derivative and Production Aircraft • Retrofit Aircraft 5
