European Group Studies Precursors to Runway Excursions
Working group identified 31 different excursion precursors.

The European Operators Flight Data Monitoring Working Group B–part of the European commercial aviation safety team (ECast)–last week released its study into the precursors of runway excursions. The objectives of the working study were to create best practices for addressing runway excursion problems, as well as to provide guidelines for implementing flight data monitoring (FDM) software tools to identify relevant data. The study also presents the algorithms proposed to potentially address each of the recommendations identified.
