Background

This safety enhancement will reduce wrong runway departures by providing scenario-based training for controllers highlighting the contributing factors that have led to wrong runway departures. The training would focus on:

• Operations in complex airports;
• Airport geometry;
• Communications;
• Taxi/departure clearances;
• Understanding and managing fatigue and time pressures;
• Taxi Into Position and Hold (TIPH); and
• Situational awareness

as described in the Wrong Runway Safety Action Team Report report.
