An Application of the Improved Models for Risk Assessment of Runway Safety Areas

Abstract

The RSA is intended to prevent the following five types of events from becoming an accident: landing overruns, landing undershoots, landing veer-offs, takeoff overruns and takeoff veer-offs. The improved models are based on evidence from worldwide accidents and incidents that occurred during the past 27 years. The analysis utilizes historical data from the specific airport and allows the user to take into consideration specific operational conditions to which movements are subject, as well as the actual or planned RSA conditions in terms of dimensions, configuration, type of terrain, and boundaries defined by existing obstacles.This paper shows how to apply the improved models for Risk Assessment of Runway Safety Areas (Airport cooperative research program(ACRP) Report 50) into an airport and the outcome differences between the old models based on ACRP report 3-Analysis of aircraft overrun and undershoots for runway safety areas and the new models from ACRP report 50 in the specific airport.

A Study on the Risk Probability of Risk Mitigation Alternatives at Non-Compliance Airport with Runway Strip Criteria

“…However, the LRSA model [15] presented in ACRP Report 107 solved this problem. Based on historical flight operational data and weather data, both models enable the estimation of the risk probability and severity of the aircraft operating in the current or planned RSA dimension [16].…”
