What is one of the safety risks associated with Runway Incursions?

One of the primary safety risks associated with runway incursions is the potential for unauthorized entry onto the runway, leading to accidents. Runway incursions occur when an aircraft, vehicle, or person is mistakenly on a runway that is active for takeoff or landing, creating a hazardous situation. This unauthorized presence can result in collisions between aircraft, or between an aircraft and a vehicle or personnel on the runway. This emphasizes the importance of stringent communication, situational awareness, and adherence to airport protocols to mitigate the risk of such incursions and enhance overall safety on the airfield. Understanding this risk helps to foster a culture of safety among flight operations personnel.
