Ryan Airport Local Runway Safety Meeting (LRSAT)

Local Runway Safety Action Team (LRSAT) annual meeting for KRYN

Date and Time:Wednesday, March 18, 2020, starting at 10:30 Arizona

Speaker(s):Gloria Calhoun, Air Traffic Manager, FAA Runway Safety, FAASTeam Program Managers, Tucson Airport Authority Administration

Brief Description:
Gloria Calhoun, Air Traffic Manager, Ryan Field FAA Contract Tower. The purpose of this RSAT meeting is to unite those individuals and organizations that are actively involved in air traffic operations and movement of aircraft, vehicles, and equipment on the Airport Operations Area (AOA). We look for participation from all major airport interests including tenants, fixed base operators, airport operations and maintenance personnel. Participants are asked to help develop recommendations and solutions to enhance surface safety. Those recommendations serve as the foundation for a site-specific Runway Safety Action Plan.

The agenda items for the meeting include a discussion of runway and taxiway changes, markings, signage, lighting, visual aids and procedures. The team will also discuss open and recently closed action items, and review runway incursions and surface deviations that have occurred in the previous 12 months.

Local and transient airport users, tenants, fixed base operators, airport operations and maintenance personnel are welcome and encouraged to attend.

The meeting will adjourn at 11:30 a.m.

Runway incursions are a major factor in aviation safety. While many things have been done to reduce the accident rate in General Aviation and the Air Carrier Industry, both sides of the aviation house are still experiencing far too many runway incursions. This could be the result of "Read back - Hear back" issues, poor airport signage, pilot inattention/knowledge, expectation bias, or a combination of factors. Runway safety is a major concern for all pilots and if you have been around aviation for a long period of time you have probably seen some close calls on the runways and taxiways, or even been involved in some yourself.
