Description
A runway excursion is one of the main areas of concern in the runway safety domain. According to the IATA's Safety Report, runway excursions have been the most common type of accident over the past ten years, with the landing phase being the most critical.
Runway excursions during the landing phase involve aircraft veering off the runway (Lateral excursions) and Aircraft exiting the upwind end of the runway (Runway overrun).
Various factors may drive this operational issue, such as approach path and energy management, deep landings, runway surface conditions, crosswind, incorrect performance calculation, and inadequate stopping device use.
The severity of a runway excursion consequence is related to two main factors, including the speed at which an aircraft exits the runway surface area (high energy excursions) and the characteristics of the runway end safety area at a given aerodrome.
