6.0 Future Directions

Many of the initiatives implemented are already providing a positive impact on runway safety. This is an ongoing effort and the FAA is committed to finding ways of making a safe system even safer. In addition to current runway safety initiatives, the following efforts will further the progress of increasing runway safety over the next several years.
6.1 Implement a Safety Management System (SMS) within the Runway Safety Office
The Office of Safety is working to fully implement a SMS across the ATO. SMS will eventually encompass all of our runway safety processes. An initial area of application will be the Runway Safety Council.
The Runway Safety Council: This is a joint effort between the FAA and the aviation industry to look into the root causes of runway incursions. The Runway Safety Council, scheduled to begin meeting in Fall 2008, will be comprised of 12–15 representatives from various parts of the aviation industry. A subsidiary working group called the Root Cause Analysis Team will integrate investigations of severe runway incursions and conduct a root cause analysis. The working group will present its root cause analysis to the council and make recommendations on ways to improve runway safety. The council will review the recommendations. If accepted, the Runway Safety Council will assign the recommendation to the part of the FAA and/or the industry that is best able to control the root cause and prevent further runway incursions. The council will track recommendations to make sure responsible parties take appropriate action. The Root Cause Analysis Team will also follow up after implementation.

6.2 Training and Instruction
Tower Controller Refresher Training: To ensure air traffic controllers maintain a high level of runway incursion prevention awareness, the FAA has mandated that runway incursion prevention be included in the quarterly refresher training at every control tower. These training courses revisit the fundamentals of tower procedures. It is a supplement to what they work on at each individual airport and includes review of incident scenarios. This training began in the summer of 2008. 
Pilot Training and Instruction: Proficiency training is essential to the safety of all pilots and their passengers. Each pilot must take a personal interest in their safety and that of their passengers. FAA’s AFS is exploring the following initiatives:
.  Flight Reviews: Flight instructors provide flight reviews, which incorporate information to refresh pilots on runway safety. These reviews consist of a minimum of one hour of ground instruction and one hour of flight instruction. Participants receive a certificate as verification of course completion. As a way of increasing awareness with respect to runway safety, AFS began posting runway safety videos to the FAA Safety Team (FAASTeam) Web site in the summer of 2008.
