#Runway Incusions

#Human Error

Human factor is the common denominator of every runway incursion

#procedure
#performance

#threat
#error

Threat not addressed or Error not be caught can be a leading cause of aircraft
accidents.

#reenact (v.) / reenactment (n.) = 案件重演

to repeat the actions of an event that happened in the past as a performance
e.g we have just seen the reenactment of an accident

Cathay is one of the foremost AOC holder based in HK

The major the biggest contributor to (any topic/aviation/safety/health...) is

knowledge
Knowledge is about everthing - about your signal detection, about your reaction
etc.
The only way that you can gain knowledge is by educating yourself continuosly

#technical knowledge #the expertise

#able to v.s #unable to
With technical knowlege , we have the expertise of flying and able to read the
chart, knowing the IFR instrument ...
(Air Traffic Controller) are responsible for
tower operations
terminal operations

#stressful

For pilot, the tower is an icon the most visible symbol of the air traffic control
#is an icon
#is a focal point

As a pilot navigating congested ground and airspace, concentration is critical to

the safety of dozens of aircraft vying for the same ground and airspace
#congested
#heavy traffic

#concentration
#maximum awareness

#clear concise communication

#effective commnuication

#are critical to
#are essential to
#are key to
#are ultimate weapon to

#vie -> vying = compete with other

breakdowns in communication and lapses in situational awareness will decay the

safety level of the operation

#veteran pilot = #experienced pilot

advanced technology helps but the real difference still comes down to people, the
pilots and other personnel in the whole operation

work more closely, communicate more efficiently

from studying (flight safty/aviation) publications and websites to signing up for

classroom instruction to learn new procedure and knowledge
continuing education is the ultimate key to safety

By special invited by (MingPao), I had chance to experience a behind-the-scenes

look at the ATCC

our goal is to raise the bar

raise the bar = to do, produce, or be something better than anyone before, so that
other people then feel they have to do better themselves.

The bottom line is not about profit and loss

The bottom line is life and death.
