AMC1 ADR.OR.D.027(d)(1);(d)(2)Safety programmes and aerodrome safety committees ED Decision 2024/004/R TASKS OF THE LOCAL RUNWAY SAFETY TEAM (a) The local runway safety team should support the aerodrome operator in reducing the safety risk of issues related to runway safety, including but not limited to the following: (1) runway incursion; (2) runway excursion; (3) runway confusion; (4) suspension or closure of runway operations; and (5) infringements of the lower airspace inside the aerodrome or in the vicinity of the aerodrome perimeter by unauthorised UAS. (b) The local runway safety team should support the aerodrome operator in assessing the need for the establishment of hot spots at the aerodrome and the review of the relevant entries of the aeronautical information publication (AIP) for accuracy. (c) The local runway safety team should: (1) monitor the number, type, and the severity of runway safety occurrences; (2) support the aerodrome operator in disseminating safety recommendations delivered from accident and incident investigation authorities as well as other relevant lessons learnt e.g. from operational experience and best risk-mitigation practices; and (3) ensure sharing of good practices to prevent runway safety events. (d) The local runway safety team should assist the aerodrome operator: (1) in verifying that the communications between air traffic controllers or other air traffic services personnel, pilots, and vehicle drivers are satisfactory, or if any improvements are required; (2) in assessing on a regular basis in different weather and light conditions whether the visual aids at all runway entrances are adequate, correctly located, and understandable by all parties concerned, with no possible ambiguity of their meaning, or in identifying potential aerodrome design issues. (e) The local runway team should provide advice to the aerodrome operator, prior to the implementation of changes to the aerodrome movement area, new practices, and procedures to identify any potential for runway safety events. *[applicable from 24 May 2025 – ED Decision 2024/004/R]* ##### AMC1 ADR.OR.D.027(d)(1);(d)(2) Safety programmes and aerodrome safety committees *ED Decision 2024/004/R* **TASKS OF THE LOCAL RUNWAY SAFETY TEAM** (a) The local runway safety team should support the aerodrome operator in reducing the safety risk of issues related to runway safety, including but not limited to the following: (1) runway incursion; (2) runway excursion; (3) runway confusion; (4) suspension or closure of runway operations; and (5) infringements of the lower airspace inside the aerodrome or in the vicinity of the aerodrome perimeter by unauthorised UAS.
