AOP03 — Improve runway safety by preventing runway incursions

Prevent runway accidents by identifying and eliminating the risks of runway incursions.

This objective has been updated in 2010 to encompass the new recommendations in the European Action Plan for Prevention of Runway Incursions (EAPPRI) Edition 2.0.

A few recommendations have been completed, progressed or improved. All the remaining recommendations which were part of the previous EAPPRI Editions are still valid. New recommendations are based upon best practices from airports across Europe and can be found in sections 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, and the new sections 1.9 -Technology for the prevention of runway incursions - and 1.10 - Civil-military joint use aerodromes.

The applicability area of this objective is all ECAC aerodromes. Nonetheless, it is for the individual National safety authority to decide upon the strategy of implementation at aerodromes within its own State.

NOTE FOR MILITARY AUTHORITIES: It is the responsibility of each Military Authority to review this ESSIP Objective IN ITS ENTIRETY and address each of the SloAs that the Military Authority considers RELEVANT for itself. This has to be done on top and above of the review of "MIL" SloAs which identify actions EXCLUSIVE to MIL Authorities
