Dirty Dozen

02 Apr 23:

The Dirty Dozen has been around for a while. Some of the Dozen have been mitigated with technology and changes to airport infrastructure, procedure, etc... Some have not, especially runway safety hazards. Heightened awareness and in depth briefings are in order to help reduce the runway safety hazards until technological mitigations can be developed. Risk management must be done for every takeoff and landing, and the risks experienced today at one airport will be different the next takeoff or landing.


In the meantime, Look Outside. Listen. Do checklists while stopped. Scan the runway before taking off. To reduce excursions, fly a stabilized approach, as speed kills airplanes and people in this environment.

Look - Listen - Live.

Fly Smart,

Clark
