How can you improve your ability to manage a crew during a runway incursion?

Understanding your roles and responsibilities is paramount in enhancing crew management during runway incursions. Regular training, clear communication protocols, and a thorough grasp of procedures contribute to effective leadership. Foster a culture of situational awareness, emphasizing proactive risk mitigation. Continuous evaluation and debriefing after incidents cultivate a learning environment. Empower crew members to voice concerns and collaborate in decision-making. Strengthening these elements improves crew coordination and responsiveness in navigating runway incursion challenges.

It's important to understand the roles and responsibilities of each crew member during normal and abnormal operations. For example, the pilot flying (PF) is responsible for controlling the aircraft, while the pilot monitoring (PM) is responsible for monitoring the instruments, the environment, and ATC communication. The cabin crew is responsible for ensuring the safety and comfort of the passengers and informing them of any changes or emergencies. Crew resource management (CRM) is a set of principles that guide the actions and interactions of crew members. It emphasizes the importance of open communication, teamwork, and effective decision-making. However, never forget training, training, and continuous training.

Once you are on the runway it is probably too late. The mission must be to stop it happening. The simplest thing to introduce is a compulsory cross check within the flight deck that entry clearance has been given. If this had been done in Tenerife by the KLM 747, the accident would almost certainly not have happened. Ryanair do this. Time for the rest to follow.

The TAM JJ3054 July 2007, accident underlines the necessity for crews to have a solid grasp of SOPs and CRM under stress. The distinction between the pilot flying and monitoring roles becomes even more critical in emergencies. This incident emphasizes the need for crew members to adhere strictly to their defined roles, especially under adverse conditions like those at Congonhas Airport.

Chaque membre a un r?le dans l'équipe et il doit savoir le r?le de chaque membre de l'équipe pour s'adresser à la bonne personne Il faut que les r?les sont bien définis pour éviter l'interférence dans les taches

The complexities of the Congonhas Airport, especially in poor weather conditions, highlight the need for precise communication. Clarity in conveying and acknowledging ATC instructions is vital to avoid misinterpretations that can lead to fatal errors, as possibly seen in this accident.

We use clear and concise communication language, standard phraseology, and proper callouts when talking to our crew members and the ATC. We confirm and repeat any instructions, clearances, and warnings that we receive and give.

The name of the hotel on arrival, restrictions in the country. Retain the services of a guide who will endorse the activities to do and not to do. Well mentioned the day of return and the process to follow if you miss the return flight. On the day of departure, make a reservation at the airport hotel to have everyone traveling with us there to avoid missing flights. So first we should identify the country, document the risks related to tourism, the advice and restrictions that the country cares about the most. in due form. Know the number of people taking part in the excursion.

Be clear and directive to the crew how to react and use as many standard phrases as possible. Depending on the situation you might want to direct the crew to the left or right side of the airplane. Keep it short and very clear because you have the oversight of the situation.

High level of Situational awareness Precise communication with ATC and within Cockpit crew In case inndoubt ask the Controller

The TAM JJ3054 tragedy stresses the importance of situational awareness on busy runways like Congonhas. Crews must be trained to keep a comprehensive mental model of the ground situation, using all available tools and resources. Enhanced awareness could potentially mitigate risks in similar high-traffic environments.

To improve crew management during runway incursions: 1. Prioritize training and familiarity. 2. Emphasize effective communication and crew resource management. 3. Conduct thorough briefings and use checklists. 4. Maintain situational awareness and adhere to standard operating procedures. 5. Encourage continuous learning and risk assessment. 6. Develop strong leadership and decision-making skills. 7. Conduct post-incident debriefings for continuous improvement.

Once these steps have been established, we will proceed to evaluate the activities to be carried out in the country. One person could be appointed to be responsible for each activity. The latter will list the people who engage in the activity, will make sure to announce the route and the duration of the route, the site of the activity to be done, the number of hours to devote to it, the time for dinner and snack at the restaurant, break time, and return time to the hotel. So for each activity, we make a person responsible who, in an unofficial way, will act as police who will ensure that everything is in order.

As I was taught at Wardair many years ago...you keep your head on a swivel. Situations can change in a heart beat. Seen too many near misses.

Le temps de passage à l’action doit être minime après le processus d’analyse terminé. L’action est à privilégier plut?t que l’attente d’un changement de situation.

We apply effective decision making during a runway incursion by following the DECIDE model. The DECIDE model consists of six steps: Detect, Estimate, Choose, Identify, Do, and Evaluate. For instance, if we detect a runway incursion, we estimate the severity and the consequences of the situation, choose the most appropriate action, such as aborting the takeoff or the landing, identify the resources and the procedures that we need, do the action, and evaluate the outcome and the feedback.

This responsibility will be to different degrees since the activity risks are at different degrees. Example: visiting a tourist site on a nice afternoon is less risky than keeping an eye on a group of young people on spring break. So for each activity there will be managers who will report every evening (Brainstorming) so that we can have a guide (Manual) which will allow us to reduce the travel risks of our members in the future.So this dynamic should be quite rigorous from departure to return. The phew will only happen when all the members have set foot on the return ground. That it!

Este es el proceso mas difícil de cualquier tripulación ya que el estrés del momento, lo inesperado del evento y una gestión inadecuada de las emociones pueden hacer la diferencia entre el éxito o fracaso del manejo de una emergencia. Para conservar la calma y no tomar una decisión que agrave la situación actual en una incursión o en cualquier otra emergencia el manejo emocional es vital. Este estado mental de toma correcta de decisiones solo se puede lograr con el entrenamiento constante de situaciones de emergencia. Así el personal aeronáutico sabrá qué esperar y como reaccionar en un evento real.

Pour ma part, cela repose sur 3 points - garder son calme - être organisé - travailler par ordre de priorité ou d'urgence N.B.: garder à l'esprit que nous sommes des êtres humains, demander la contribution des collègues, d'agences spécialisées dans un secteur donné peut-être aussi d'une grande aide et une valeur ajoutée.

TAM JJ3054 - The high-stress environment of Congonhas Airport, especially under adverse weather conditions, can significantly impact crew performance. Training in stress management and workload distribution is essential for maintaining cognitive function and ensuring efficient task management in such high-pressure situations.

Clear communication and situational awareness is crucial in this case. Making sure the appropriate abbreviation are used and in an understandable way to avoid confusion of indications and commands. Making sure the level of English the employee have is advanced enough to be understood and understand.

Have a plan, brief the plan. Know the environment you’re working with. Listen carefully. Use standard phraseology. Anticipate. Be ready for changes. If communication is vague, clarify. Stay clear of a runway until you have a valid clearance to cross. Don’t allow distractions to impede upon a safe operation.

Incorporate human factors training into crew education, emphasizing the psychology behind errors and strategies for reducing them. Human factors training helped us understand the cognitive aspects of runway incursions, leading to better crew decision-making and risk mitigation. Facilitate communication and information sharing among crews who regularly operate at the same airports to leverage collective experience.In my role, we established a cross-crew communication platform where crews could exchange insights and lessons learned about specific airports.

The TAM JJ3054 case shows the importance of post-incident analysis and learning. Regular training to simulate emergency scenarios, like those experienced at Congonhas, can prepare crews for unexpected events. Furthermore, employing predictive technologies to foresee and prevent potential risks can be a significant step towards enhancing runway safety and preventing similar tragedies.

Lynn, These are excellent bullets points in strategy and tactical plan to assist in the mitigation of a runway incursion. But, I’m reflecting back to the original statement of “during a runway incursion”. Maybe some added points during the brief will lay the plan for the “what if” whether we are the reason or involved in a runway incursion. Now What?

Like ADS-B mandate, CPDLC should be mandatory for documented clearance process in every busy airport where arrival and departure is a continuous process every few moments. VHF transmission often not clear due to interference and pronunciation barrier. Standard radio phrenology is in place for more than half a century, but due to interference and language/ pronunciation barrier, accident happened many times. If aircraft have visual clearance system ( in integrated DU) it will make things easier. Manufacturing industry must take initiative to create the ecology. Cost is less important than life when it is pertaining to aviation safety.
