FAA RI's prior to that date are official runway incursions per the previous FAA criteria of an aircraft/vehicle/pedestrian unauthorized on a runway or in the runway safety area (RSA) as identified for each specific airport. This include any violation of a hold line that protected a runway surface. One or more of the violaters had to be on the runway surface, across the hold short line or in the RSA to be considered a surface event to include loss of separation on a runway. In addition the previous FAA RI criteria specified that if an aircraft was less than a mile from landing and an aircraft, vehicle or pedestrian violated the protected landing surface then it was considered a runway incursion. This also included loss of separation on a runway. If there were no other aircraft involved or the landing aircraft was one mile or mile from landing then it was considered a surface event and not an RI. The surface event database was populated with this column in 2001 for FY01-07 so as to provide senior leadership the amount of events that would meet the ICAO RI standard if it were implemented. The ICAO numbers for FY2001-2007 are prior to FAA implementation on 1 October 2007 and is included for analytical purposes only and is not to be misconstrued as actual FAA RI’s. The category rankings given in FAA briefings are base on converting the FY01-07 Category D's to "C" and adding them to the "C" totals. The other events that were not RI's prior to 1 Oct 07 but met the ICAO RI standard were converted to Category "D" events. The Category A/B remained the same. |
