8 Runway Excursions: Overruns A Big Problem 40 per year (typically overruns for jet aircraft) for the past 16 years 34% of all turbojet aircraft accidents 24% of all turboprop aircraft accidents Kingston, Jamaica - Dec 2009 Over 50% of commercial aviation fatalities Brussels, Belgium May 2008 Excursions account for 83% of all fatal runway safety accidents Source: Flight Safety Foundation

9 Runway End Safety Areas (RESA) Definition: A defined, prepared surface beyond the runway end suitable for reducing the risk of aircraft damage or injury to the passengers and crew in the event of an undershoot, overrun, or excursion from the runway. Provides a safety margin for aircraft that overshoot the runway surface. ICAO states* that The standard distance of 90m would capture approximately 61% of overruns, with 83% being contained within the recommended distance of 240m. *ref: state letter dated 30 May 2011 ICAO Required m FAA Required 1000 feet (305 meter) OR - ICAO Recommended m EMAS w/70 Knot EMAS for overrun

10 EMASMAX - An Alternative to RESA JZH EMASMAX - R/W 02

11 What is EMASMAX A bed of cellular cement blocks encased in an environmental cover that is placed at the end of a runway to decelerate an overrunning aircraft in an emergency Passive system that will reliably and predictably crush under the weight of an aircraft, providing gentle, consistent deceleration

12 Theory of Operation Tire/material interface provides resistive loads to decelerate the aircraft Loads are placed on the aircraft landing gear and support structure ESCO's FAA-Approved computer model is used to determine final arrestor bed configuration ENGINEERED ARRESTING SYSTEMS

13 EMAS Design Each EMAS is designed based on: The aircraft that operate on the runway The length and width of the runway The elevation of the runway The length of available RESA The slope of the RESA Performance is predicted based on: Poor aircraft braking and no reverse thrust from runway exit to entry of EMAS No aircraft braking or reverse thrust once aircraft enters EMAS Aircraft at field-adjusted MTOW Aircraft at field-adjusted 80% MLW

40 During the takeoff or landing phase, if a pilot determines that the aircraft will exit the runway end and enter the EMAS, the following procedures should be followed: 1. Continue deceleration -- Regardless of aircraft speed upon exiting the runway, continue to follow Rejected/Aborted Takeoff procedures, or if landing, Maximum Braking procedures outlined in the Flight Manual. 2. Maintain runway centerline -- Not veering left or right of the bed and continuing straight ahead will maximize stopping capability of the EMAS bed. The quality of deceleration will be best within the confines of the bed. 3. Maintain deceleration efforts -- The arrestor bed is a passive system, so this is the only action required by the pilot. 4. Once stopped, do not attempt to taxi or otherwise move the aircraft. ENGINEERED ARRESTING SYSTEMS
