It is likely that, in the near future, airports in the United Kingdom will be asked to show that they have recognized the risks of their individual operations and have minimized them as far as is practicable. Normal protection for the aircraft is provided in the International Civil Aviation Organisation’s Annex 14 by the 60-m strip at the end of a runway and a recommendation for the installation of a Runway End Safety Area of at least 90 m. In fact, airports vary considerably both in the likelihood of incurring an overrun and in the consequences. Annex 14 provides protection almost regardless of individual airport circumstances. Individual risk studies would be an expensive operation if they were carried out for each airport. An alternative proposition would be to carry out one risk study using data that have taken account of the differences in operations, the results of which would be applicable to every airport. This would result in a simple risk assessment tool that could be used by aerodrome staff with no risk-assessment experience. The methodology that is to be used and preliminary results are reported.
