Safety is everybody's responsibility Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 3

Aerodrome triangle Aerodrome operator Pilot Air Traffic Controller Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 4

ICAO Annex 14 requirements (1) Road Runway Taxiway penetration Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 5

ICAO Annex 14 requirements (2) Q RWY markings Q TWY: - Taxi holding position markings - Signs - Stop bars - RWY guard lights Q Road: - Holding position markings - Signs - Lights Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 6

Responsibilities of the aerodrome operator Q To comply with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPS) Q To have competent operational and maintenance personnel Q To execute proper maintenance Q To instruct vehicle drivers Q To have a Safety Management System (SMS) Q To ensure that ATC receives all relevant information about the status of systems Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 7

Responsibilities of the Air Traffic Controller Q Q Q To operate the SMGCS to provide for the safety and expedition of the movements of aircraft and vehicles on the movement areas To give clear and concise instructions to pilots and vehicle drivers To not use abbreviations To use the English language when required To use the aerodrome systems as designed Not give the message: “Please ignore the red” when stop bars are switched on Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 8

Responsibilities of the pilot Q Q Q The pilot-in-command is ultimately responsible for safety of the aircraft To follow the instructions from ATC To use the aerodrome systems as designed To have knowledge of the meaning of these aerodrome systems To have adequate training To never cross a red stop bar Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 9

“Engineering Christmas Trees” Q Q To resolve the RWY incursion issue, often engineering driven solutions are proposed Step zero is often forgotten: i. e. the basis: implementation of the ICAO Annex 14 requirements Without step zero the system/triangle can never be in balance Try to resolve the issues by being creative, but stay within the ICAO framework Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 10

Example of a creative solution Mandatory Instruction Sign with a Location Sign B 06 -24 Sign according to ICAO Annex 14 Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 11

Example of an incorrect solution Mandatory Instruction Sign RWY ahead Sign not according to ICAO provisions Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 12

Summary Q Q The triangle must be in balance The consideration of responsibilities within the operation of (A)SMGCS is a major factor in the prevention of runway incursions The requirements of ICAO Annex 14 designed to prevent runway incursions must be implemented as the first step The second step of improvement can be found in looking to the issue of human factors and fall-back systems Aerodrome Safety Workshop - Almaty, Kazakhstan - 18 to 22 November 2002 13
