landing runway. In this case the ATC clearance to cross the
parallel runway would refer to the same landing direction but
other runway, and the RAAS Approaching Runway Advisory
would refer to the closest runway threshold. For example,
consider an aircraft that has landed on runway 08 right, and
then cleared to cross runway 08 left after roll-out. The RAAS
advisory generated as the aircraft approaches runway 08 Left
is “Approaching two-six-right.” This is normal and consistent
with the runway markings at the threshold of runway 26R.
Runway incursion data indicate that
• 44% of incursions involved poor crew position awareness;
• 12% of all take-off incursions were from the incorrect
runway; and
• 7% of take-off and landing incursions were from/onto a
taxiway.
The purpose of the On Runway Advisory is to provide the
crew with awareness of which runway the aircraft is lined-up
with during ground operations.
The On Runway Advisory is generated when the following
conditions are met:
• Aircraft enters onto a runway; and
• Aircraft
heading is within 20 degrees of the runway
