The U. S. National Airspace System collectively managed approximately 266 million flights, or airport operations, at the more than 450 towered airports in the United States during the past 4 years (1997-2000). Of these 266 million airport operations, 1,369 resulted in a runway incursion. That is approximately 5 runway incursions for every 1 million operations. Of the 1,369 incursions, 3 resulted in accidents. Last year the number of runway incursion increased by 110 events, from 321 to 431. Until now, there was no characterization of runway incursion severity - the potential consequence of these incursions. Underlying variables, such as the proximity and speed of the aircraft involved, must be considered along with the frequency of runway incursions to accurately portray the risk posed by these events. The FAA commissioned this analysis to assess the relative severity of runway incursions.
