Surface Collision When there is NO separation during the runway incursion, the result is an accident Any event where unauthorized movement by an aircraft, vehicle, or pedestrian occurs on the Movement Area that affects or could affect the safety of flight. Fatalities 11 Runway Incursions There are 3 Types of Runway Incursions Definition of Runway Incursion Any occurrence at an airport, with an operating control tower, involving: an aircraft a vehicle a person Operational Errors Air Traffic Controllers Pilot Deviations Commercial, General Aviation & Military Vehicle & Pedestrian Deviations Airport Authority Vehicles, ARFF (Fire Trucks), Tugs, Tenants’ Personal Cars, Delivery Trucks, Pizza Delivery, Trash Trucks, Construction Vehicles, Fuel Trucks, Pedestrians, Law Enforcement, Sightseers, etc. or an object …on the ground that creates a collision hazard or results in loss of separation with an aircraft taking off, intending to take off, landing, or intending to land. 12 Definitions FOD: Foreign object debris: Trash, rocks and debris that can get sucked into the engine of an aircraft.
