From 2013 to 2017, an average of 445 runway incursions each year have been reported, with 21 high- severity events recorded in each of the past two years. The TSB responded by recommending solutions that include: improvements in air traffic control procedures, surveillance and warning systems, runway and taxiway designs, holding position visual aids and flight crew training and procedures. Also recommended was modern technical solutions, such as in-cockpit electronic situational awareness aids, and direct-to-pilot warnings, such as runway status lights.
When addressing fatigue, the TSB commented that it is prevalent in a 24/7 industry where crews can work long and irregular schedules across multiple time zones, and it has been found to be a risk or contributing factor in more than 90 TSB investigations since 1992. To combat this issue, the Watchlist called for “adequate duty-time regulations based on fatigue science, fatigue management plans that are tailored to company operations, and awareness training for employees and managers.” KA
