The objective of this project was to develop an aircraft overrun and undershoot risk assessment approach, supported by scientific evidence and statistical theory, which provides step-by-step procedures and instructions for analysis of runway safety areas (RSA). Most aircraft accidents occur during the landing and takeoff phases of the flight and are likely to challenge the existing RSA when the aircraft overruns or undershoots the paved area of runways. Currently, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) standards require runways to include an RSA: a graded and clean area surrounding the runway that should be capable, under normal (dry) conditions, of supporting airplanes without causing structural damage to airplanes or injury to their occupants. The RSA improves the safety of airplanes that undershoot, overrun, or veer off the runway. The size of the RSA is dependent on the type and size of aircraft using each runway. Most aircraft accidents occur during the landing and take-off phases of the flight and are likely to challenge the existing RSA when the aircraft overruns or undershoots the paved area of runways.
