Runway incursion safeguards

This example represents a runway incursion as a barrier problem. The hazard is routine surface traffic near a runway; the top event is an unauthorised entry, not the collision that may follow. The left side identifies clearance and visibility threats and the barriers intended to stop them. The right side shows actions that can avoid or manage the outcome once the top event occurs. Use the diagram to structure a surface-safety conversation across pilots, controllers and vehicle operators. Airport procedures, equipment and roles vary, so replace the labels with the controls and terminology used locally. This qualitative diagram is not an operational clearance procedure or a replacement for aviation regulations.

“A runway-incursion bowtie: the hazard is aircraft and vehicles operating near a runway and the top event is unauthorised entry onto an active runway. Show misunderstood clearances, poor visibility and vehicle route deviation as threats, with readbacks, phraseology, stop bars, radar, driver training and routing as barriers. Show collision, runway closure and aircraft damage with alerts, go-arounds, emergency response, investigation, inspection and recovery barriers.”

Preguntas frecuentes

Preguntas habituales

What is a runway incursion?

It is an unauthorised presence on a protected area of an airport intended for aircraft operations.

Why is collision a consequence?

The unauthorised entry occurs first and may be detected or managed before a collision.

Can vehicle operations be included?

Yes. Vehicle clearances, routing and driver training are common threat-side controls.
