The mission of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Office of Runway Safety is to improve runway safety in the United States (U.S.) by decreasing the number and severity of surface incidents and runway incursions. This mission is accomplished through the collaboration of the FAA and its many stakeholders in the aviation community. The FAA and its air traffic control system, along with pilots and airport operators work together every day to ensure that procedures are followed, coordination of safe aircraft movement occurs, and that airport infrastructure is maintained. This creates a system of checks and balances designed to mitigate risk in the runway environment. Additionally, the FAA also partners with aircraft operators, pilots, airport managers and industry groups to proactively review the effectiveness of these checks and balances and identify additional means to improve safety.
