In light of the recent crash of Comair, Inc. (doing business as Comair Airlines doing business as Delta Connection), flight 5191 in Lexington, Kentucky, the Federal Aviation Administration's Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing center conducted a review of event reports that involved airplanes departing from or taxiing into position on a wrong runway. The review involved gathering data from multiple databases (1981 through 2006); identifying event reports of interest; reviewing those reports to find contributing factors; identifying, assigning, and scoring mitigations. The review showed that wrong runway events occurred at many airports and under varying circumstances; however, they occurred most frequently at four airports: Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, Houston Hobby Airport, Salt Lake City International Airport, and Miami International Airport. These airports share the following common elements or contributing factors: (1) Multiple runway thresholds located in close proximity to one another; (2) A short distance between the airport terminal and the runway; (3) A complex airport design; (4) The use of a runway as a taxiway, and (5) A single runway that uses intersection departures.
