New Animation @ Runway Safety Simulator
Notice Number: NOTC0193
The FAA is happy to release the newest animation to the https://www.runwaysafetysimulator.com/ This animation, “The Anatomy of a Wrong Surface Event” is the second in a three part series focusing on causal factors for wrong surface events, such as incorrect runway or taxiway approaches, landings, or departures. Specifically, this episode highlights the importance of guarding against certain environmental factors that contribute to wrong surface events and other runway incursions. Stay tuned for the third and final episode in this series coming later this summer!
BONUS TIPS!
Use caution when conducting Intersection Takeoffs! Runway behind you is runway you’ll never get back. Carefully evaluate the potential risks versus rewards when departing from an intersection. Align heading bugs or course needles (if equipped) with the runway heading before taking the runway. Prior to adding takeoff power, double check your alignment with the magnetic compass and heading bug/course needle to ensure you turned onto the correct runway. (Make sure you turned in the correct direction for takeoff!) YOU HAVE THE RIGHT to use all available runway. If you don’t want to accept an intersection departure from ATC, kindly state “UNABLE” and clearly communicate your request(s).
Check out AIM 4-3-10 and 5-2-5 for more information on Intersection Takeoffs.
Fly Safe,

The big news of the moment is that our commemorative OSH 2020 t-shirts have arrived and I have them sorted by color and size in my hangar (833). I will be there Friday 7/10 and Saturday 7/11 from 12-2 pm each day if you want to swing by and pick yours up. It will take some time to get them all distributed but I will do my best to get them all delivered. They are so cool! Once social distancing eases up, we will definitely need to do a chapter group photo.
