Improving runway safety: A solution and its associated challenges

Goal is to improve runway safety by reducing runway and taxiway incursions and excursions. We propose achieving this by introducing three new flight deck-centric data link applications that offer operational safety enhancements on the aerodrome surface. We also propose updating onboard AMDBs via data link, using an authoritative data source, and integrated flight deck displays. Remaining challenges: - Flight Deck Integration (Human Factors) - Coordination/Harmonization of Standards - Shared Situational Awareness.
