Immediately require all 14 CFR Part 121, Part 135 and Part 91, subpart K operators to conduct arrival landing distance assessments before every landing based on existing performance data, actual conditions and incorporating a minimum safety margin of 15 percent.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) is an independent agency that provides audit, evaluation and investigation support for the U.S. Congress. It investigates how the government spends taxpayer dollars.
In December 2007, the GAO released the Aviation Runway and Ramp Safety Report. Its objective was to review how well the FAA and others were addressing runway and ramp safety. GAO recommended the five actions described below:
. 
Implement the FAA order establishing the Office of Runway Safety to lead the agency’s runway safety efforts, including preparing a new national runway safety plan. The plan should include goals to improve runway safety; near- and longer-term actions designed to reduce the severity, number and rate of runway incursions; timeframes and resources needed for those actions; and a continuous evaluative process to track performance towards those goals. The plan should also address the increased runway safety risk associated with the expected increased volume of air traffic.

. 
Develop an implementation schedule for establishing a non-punitive voluntary safety reporting program for air traffic controllers.

. 
Develop and implement a plan to collect data on runway overruns that do not result in damage or injury for analyses of trends and causes, such as the locations, circumstances and types of aircraft involved in such incidents.

. 
Develop a mitigation plan for addressing controller overtime that considers options such as shift changes and incentives to attract controllers to facilities with high volumes of air traffic and high rates of controller overtime.

. 
Work with the aviation industry and Occupational Safety and Health Administration to develop a mechanism to collect and analyze data on ramp accidents and, if warranted by the analysis, develop a strategic plan aimed at reducing accidents involving workers, passengers and aircraft in the ramp area. The plan should include a discussion of roles and responsibilities, performance measures, data collection and analysis, milestones and a consideration of ramp safety practices followed by other countries.

The Office of Inspector General (OIG) is a component of the Department of Transportation. It is an independent auditing group responsible for reporting problems and making recommendations (based upon audits, investigations and inspections) to the Secretary of Transportation and to Congress.
In May 2007, the OIG released a report: Progress Has Been Made in Reducing Runway Incursions, But Recent Incidents Underscore the Need for Further Proactive Methods. The report provides the results of OIG’s review of the FAA actions taken to address runway incursions at Boston Logan, Chicago O’Hare, Philadelphia and Los Angeles international airports. OIG’s objectives were to assess the actions taken by the FAA to identify and correct the causes of recent runway incursions at those airports as well as address those issues that could affect safety system-wide. They recommended the six actions described below:
