Runway Safety Best Practices

Always be alert to airport vehicle and pedestrian activity. Ask for progressive taxi instructions if you’re unfamiliar with the airfield. A good preflight check includes a comprehensive review of your departing/alternate/landing airport diagram. Review airport diagram before taxiing or landing. Refer to it when taxiing. Plan each flight chock-to-chock. During single-pilot operations, don't run checklists while taxiing. When taxiing during two-pilot operations, remember to have one pilot looking out of the cockpit at all times. Maintain situational awareness at all times – Practice the “see and avoid” rule – Observe and maneuver to avoid other aircraft.
