Pilot Deviations and Runway Incursions are a major factor in aviation safety.  Arizona is one of  the top states for Runway Incursions and number two for Pilot Deviations.  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 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.   The latest FAA from the Flight Deck video focuses on Phraseology:

The FAA Safety Team promotes and encourages pilots to view the FAA's Runway Safety Action Team's "From the Flight Deck" video series.  In addition, the Arizona Aviation Safety Advisory Group has produced similar videos for Marana (AVQ), Sedona (SEZ), and Cottonwood (P52) which may be viewed on YouTube, at:

Before visiting any of these airports for the first time or the hundredth time, it is better to "know before you go."

Pilot airspace deviations continue to be a major risk in the national airspace system.  To reduce the chance that you might be involved in an airspace deviation incident, you are highly encouraged to take an on-line learning center course  such as ALC 42, ALC 154, and ALC90 on www.faasafety.gov, or search the learning library for associated guidance on airspace incursions.  Remember, safe and prudent airmen have superior situational awareness and have a plan to keep it that way.

Thanks, from your Arizona FAASTeam!
