The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Air Traffic Organization announced additional steps it's taking to ensure the aviation system is safe following a string of close calls.
The safety alert was posted after the FAA convened a safety summit on March 15 to examine actions the aviation community needs to take to maintain its safety record after "serious runway incursions" unfolded since January of this year.
American Airlines airplanes sit on the tarmac of Reagan National airport in Arlington, Virginia, on December 23, 2022. In the Thursday memo, Arel laid out five extra steps the organization will take including ensuring that supervisors "devote their full attention to the operation and airfield during peak traffic periods at each facility."
Arel said the FAA will also provide more dedicated training for what he says are "unusual circumstances" and update simulator software, which was last updated in 2016.
