This safety enhancement will reduce wrong runway departures by having each Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT)) include the findings from the Wrong Runway Safety Action Team Report and the Part 139 Airport Threat Assessment in the identification of contributing factors and threats that exist in airport environments that have led to wrong runway departures.
The Runway Safety Action Team (RSAT) is established at either the regional or local level to develop a Runway Safety Action Plan for a specific airport. The Runway Safety Action Team’s primary purpose is to address existing runway safety problems and issues. A secondary purpose is to identify and address potential runway safety issues.
