ACI Runway Safety Handbook

This handbook provides methodologies and best practices that can be implemented to assist airport operators in achieving a state-of-the-art level of runway safety. It provides guidance material for the development of a runway safety program for all airports (large or small), as well as ways to tailor, improve, and expand existing programs. The handbook’s four chapters are focused on the perspective of airport operators: Runway Safety describes how to establish a runway safety team and implement a runway safety program, Planning and Design explains how to prevent or mitigate the infrastructural hazards of runway incursion, excursion, and confusion during master planning and designing, Operations provides the methodologies of runway inspection, dissemination procedures for the Aeronautical Information Service (AIS), and best practices of foreign object debris management and obstacle control, and Maintenance, Temporary Restriction and Construction provides proactive activities to prevent or mitigate accidents or incidents for those activities. This resource is available from the ACI store for $125 for members and $1,000 for non-members.
