Background  The CANSO Safety of Operations Workgroup developed a risk map on potential weaknesses in the ATM system in the final phase of flight: − Runway excursion  On takeoff  On landing − Runway incursion

Runway Safety Maturity Checklist 7

CANSO Runway Safety Launch 8

Benefits for ANSPs  Targets the biggest global safety threat: ‘unstable approaches’ leading to runway excursions  Standardized definitions of runway incidents to improve data analysis  Provides a benchmarking tool to baseline and measure improvements across the industry  Helps to prioritize improvement actions

Whom Do We Need to Reach?  Within ANSPs: − Trainers and course developers − ATCOs and check controllers, assessing regime  Beyond the ANSP: − Airport operators − Airline and General Aviation safety departments − Aero clubs and training organisations − Pilots − Military

I mplementation Approach I NI TI AL & RECURRENT TRAI NI NG • Education • Team leader mentors TOWERS & CENTERS SAFETY & OPERATOR FORUMS • Ensure app availability and relevance • Toolkit promotion • Web/magazine promotion • Airside operators SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM • Monitor our performance with the Runway Safety Tool

Making I t Real  Use the Runway Safety Maturity Checklist at your runway safety meetings and with your Local Runway Safety Teams  Talk about each element (as a risk control)  For each element record: − Is there a practice? − Is the practice written down? − Are people trained, checked and assessed? − Is it working? How do you know? − How could you improve the element?  Assessment is evidence-based (i.e., ‘show me’)

Checklist Elements

Prioritisation 1. Identify criteria: safety, complexity, stakeholders, financial, etc. 2. Allocate weightings against each 3. Using the scale to score for each element 4. Produce a priority-based list from the scores

Or Use the Online Checklist… Comparison Example: Airservices Australia Element 1

Accessing the Runway Safety Maturity Checklist  Send an e-mail to: rwysafety@eurocontrol.int  Paper copy and weighting guide still available at: www.canso.org/safety

Conclusion  Use the Runway Safety Maturity Checklist to support SMS and safety performance monitoring programmes  Incorporate best practices (such as the flyers for pilots and ATCOs and the Unstable Approaches – ATC Considerations educational booklet) into initial and recurrent training programs, as well as safety and operator forums  Promote the Runway Safety mobile web app at field facilities  Improve your runway safety risk controls
