Podcast: Promoting Runway Safety and Situational Awareness

Runway incursions and wrong surface events continue to challenge the aviation community, as seen in the NTSB’s recently issued final report on a February 2023 incident in Boston in which a business jet departed without clearance and passed in front of an airliner approaching to land on an intersecting runway. In this episode of Flight Plan, learn how the FAA, NTSB and NBAA are working together to mitigate these issues. “I would implore pilots and flight crews to not just remain vigilant,” said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy, “but [to] actively listen to instructions and communications from ATC, repeat them and never hesitate to perform a go-around if you are concerned about safety.”
