Description
This submission should contain the following:
- A title page.
- A draft abstract of approximately 250 words (although this may change once you complete your research and finish writing your paper).
- A detailed outline which will include a bulleted outline with detailed descriptions of the proposed content within each section (at least one paragraph describing what you will discuss within each section/subsection of your paper).
- A draft reference section (although this may change once you complete your research and finish writing your paper).
Problem and Purpose Statement
Current function of Communication Errors and other Human Factors can cause Runway Incursion
Problem Statement
A runway incursion is an incident at an aerodrome which involves the presence of communication failure, poor lighting or distractions on the shielded surface area of the designated landing and takeoff area of airplane. Is it possible to avoid or less this situation? What is the best way to reduce or prevent the runway incursion every day?
The FAA document shows that Runway safety is a significant challenge and a top priority for everyone in aviation. In the United States, an average of three runway incursions occur daily. Each of these incidents have the potential to cause significant damage to both persons and property. Runway incursions are a serious safety concern and have involved air carrier aircraft, military aircraft, general aviation (GA), and pedestrian vehicles.
Purpose Statement
The objective of this project is to research what kind of the function of Communication Errors and other Human Factors can cause Runway Incursion and how human error can create runway incursions. The project will seek to identify the best way help the aviators prevent runway incursion during work. The goal is to find the source of the human factor and limit the amount of runway incursion.
The objective will be researched, and critical thinking applied to the data and information in the context of the 4 Core Program Outcomes of Aeronautical Science, Aviation Legislation and Law, Aviation Safety, and Operations and Management.

Abstract
A runway incursion is a situation whereby there is an object, a person, an aircraft or a vehicle
on the ground creating collision hazards with an airplane in the process of landing or taking off
under the supervision of the air traffic control. About 41% of runway incursions are caused by
communication errors and human factors. Poor communication between the control tower and the
pilot is one of the communication errors and human factors. For example, the control tower may
forget that it has cleared an aircraft to use a particular runway for take-off and go ahead to allocate
the same runway for use by another aircraft. The complexity of the airport has also been linked
with cases of runway incursions. For example, the airport can have a complex layout that confuses
pilots. Technology is being used to mitigate runway incursion, yet it could also serve as a function
of communication errors and human factors causing runway incursion. The poor design of the
human machine interface is to blame for the cases of runway incursions reported. Communication
errors and human factors causing runway incursions may also occur due to the negligence of the
pilot. For example, it may happen that the pilot did not communicate proper position report of his
or her aircraft on the Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) for other pilots operating other
airplanes in the same airport to recognize that his/her runway is already used. The study examines
primary sources of research such as journals to determine the courses of runway incursions and
the communication and human functions that contribute to such cases and how...
