Runway Excursions: Bearing Strength Control of Unpaved Areas

Advances in Military Technology, 2021
The paper deals with the Dynamic Cone Penetrometer application which is intended to work as a vital means to support the bearing strength evaluation over the vast unpaved airport areas. Having identified fundamental drawbacks, the authors proposed some refinements in the original methodology.

Evaluating the interaction between engineered materials and aircraft tyres as arresting systems in landing overrun events

Case Studies in Construction Materials, 2020
According to the registered databases of air accidents around the world, landing overruns are the most probable accidents among all runway excursion events. Although new aircraft are enhanced with the latest technologies that improve the maneuvers safety,

Pavement skid resistance properties for safe aircraft operations

Journal of Road Engineering
Airport pavement engineers are required to maintain pavement skid resistance at a satisfactory level to minimize the likelihood of runway excursions. Runway overruns and skidding along rapid exit taxiways are the two most frequently encountered forms of ...

Confronting Functional Complexity Failures: The Case of a Runway Excursion in Munich [PDF]

Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society Annual Meeting, 2019
Complex systems often produce unanticipated emergent behavior as a result of the interactions between behaviorally complex sub-systems or agents. The sub-systems may be human or artificial. They may be co-located or geographically distributed and operate autonomously.

Significance assessment of the main risk factors of landing accidents based on the results of the survey of civil aviation pilots

Научный вестник МГТУ ГА
To study the problem of rough landings and aircraft runway excursions, a 22-item questionnaire, related to the subject under consideration, was drawn up for pilots. The questionnaire mainly focused on aircraft veering off.

THE HIDDEN DANGERS OF RUNWAY EXCURSIONS

Journal of Air Transport Studies, 2013
Overrun accidents continue to occur despite the good intentions of those involved in identifying and managing risk. Our ability to predict and prevent accidents that “can’t happen” must depend on our willingness to look for the possibilities in what our conventional ways of seeing assure us are failure-proof systems. In 1968 astronaut Frank Borman said

The First World War at Sea: Death, Commemoration and Cultural Remembrance

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite the ever‐increasing body of work devoted to war memorials, national days of remembrance and the commemoration of the First World War in Britain, academic focus remains firmly on the commemoration of the First World War on land. Yet, while the number of people who died at sea paled in comparison to their counterparts on the battlefield ...

Runway Safety Assistant Foreseeing Excursions: Calculating Means

Aerospace
Runway Safety Assistant Foreseeing Excursions (RUN.S.A.F.E.) is a complete embedded system solution that predicts a potential runway overrun of a civil aviation aircraft, during the Take off and Landing. This work examines the feasibility of such a system, through the algorithms and computations that predict the overruns.

Assessment of runway excursion causal factors and mitigation strategies

Nigerian Journal of Technology, 2018
Runway excursion (RE) is a significant cause of many aircraft accidents worldwide. Statistic reveals that accident associated with RE is on the increase. Although RE accident fatalities are usually lower with respect to loss of control (LOC) caused accidents, however the aircrafts involved in RE caused accidents are usually write-off.

Improving Digital Transformation Outcomes and Pace: The Role of the Board and C‐Suite in Reducing Transformation Friction

Information Systems Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Most organisations are confronting a dilemma: the need to embark on digital transformation to be competitive and sustainable versus the inherently high costs and extremely high risks involved. Lack of executive support has long been identified as a leading cause of project failure, including digital transformation projects.
