Abstract
This article is focused on areas around runway and their dimensions for safety reason of air accidents and incidents. There is proposed new calculation of these dimensions.
Highlights
The first few months of the year 2015 were witness to several aircraft accidents occurring during landing
Statistics from Boeing show that between years 1959 and 2012 34% of all fatal accidents happened during take-off and landing [1]
If an airport has a runway longer than Take-off Distance Requirement (TODR) and Landing Distance Requirement (LDR), it can be argued that the aircraft has longer safety area (LSA) remaining than just RWY Strip and Runway End Safety Area (RESA)
Summary
The first few months of the year 2015 were witness to several aircraft accidents occurring during landing. Statistics from Boeing show that between years 1959 and 2012 34% of all fatal accidents happened during take-off and landing [1]. 41% of fatal accidents happen during Final approach and landing phase alone. This article aims to address only those events, which take place in vicinity of runway (RWY) during take-off and landing. The knowledge of areas (and their dimensions) around runways, where an aircraft might come to a stop in case of landing undershoot or runway excursion, is highly important for airports’ infrastructure growth and emergency planning. This article presents the mathematical model for these areas and their proposed general dimensions based on historical data and operation experience. Several scenarios were used: Landing and Take-off overrun, Landing and Take-off veer-off and Landing undershoot
