The National Airspace System is vital to the economic well being and security of the United States. In 2007 the civil portion of the air transportation system, which included commercial and general aviation, comprised $1.3 trillion or 5.6 percent of the total U.S. economy. The FAA is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the NAS, and runway safety is a critical area of safety oversight. Enhanced and focused attention to runway safety is required. Complex operations related to a mix of aircraft and vehicles operating in close proximity within a confined space with considerable differences in speed result in increased risk to aircraft and occupants.
