Overview Context What is runway incursion? Why this study now? FAA Initiative BOS hotspots Selection Process Preliminary Partial Airfield Geometry Analysis 6
Runway Incursion Any occurrence at an aerodrome involving the incorrect presence of an aircraft, vehicle or person on the protected area of a surface designated for the landing and take off of aircraft 7
Runway Incursion Severity Classification 8
Why this study now? FAA Initiative: Following the successful completion of RSA Program, the FAA has initiated a Runway Incursion Mitigation Program FAA Preliminary Inventory of Airport Locations with Runway Incursions 2007-13 Primary cause: FAA has identified Airfield Geometry as a primary cause of Runway Incursions Nationwide: 74 Airports/ 113 locations/60 hot spots 804 Cumulative Runway Incursions 395 Peak Annual Runway Incursions BOS: Incursions at 3 out of 4 hot spots 31 Cumulative Runway Incursions 9 Peak Annual Runway Incursions 9
BOS RI Breakdown by Hot Spots Hot Spot 1 (HS1) Cumulative RI: 7 Peak Annual RI : 2 Hot Spot 3 (HS3) Cumulative RI: 15 Peak Annual RI : 4 Hot Spot 4 (HS4) Cumulative RI: 9 Peak Annual RI : 3 10
Preliminary Scope of Work Inventory and Analysis: Analyze the complete airfield geometry for non-standard geometry and potential runway incursion risks Analyze the risk associated with Group VI aircraft taxiing on existing taxiways Analyze the potential locations for deicing pads without creating adverse airfield geometry issues High Fidelity Simulation of Runway and Taxiway Operations Runway Incursion Mitigation Alternatives: Propose RIM Alternatives Conduct Safety Risk Assessment of incursion mitigation alternatives Prepare preliminary engineering design/cost estimates for various alternatives Identify potential environmental issues/permit considerations Prepare Recommendations Deliverables: Updated ALP and prepare related NEPA documents Final Report and Executive Summary 11
Consultant Qualifications Demonstrated expertise and experience in Aviation Planning Airfield Design Standards Air traffic operations/planning Airfield Simulation And Other engineering disciplines Civil, environmental, electrical, 12
