5.5 - Discussion: Runway Safety Factors

· 5.5 - Discussion: Runway Safety Factors

We are using Las Vegas international airport for this assignment

Referring to the most recent  Runway Safety Report (Links to an external site.) , FAR Part 139 Advisory Circulars, industry research, and/or  FAA "Best Practices" (Links to an external site.)  for Pilots and Air Traffic Controllers, discuss runway safety factors for the airport/airfield you toured. Specifically, what are the primary risks for Runway Incursions at the airport you researched? What statistics have you found regarding the three primary metrics to assess runway incursions (frequency, severity, and type of runway incursions)? Discuss the application, or lack thereof, of at least three "best practices." For example, did you see Hot Spot brochures in use by or provided to airfield personnel? What listed practice would you recommend for use at this airfield that is not currently in use (or that you did not witness in use), and why?
