Question #8:

What is the difference between runway incursion and runway excursion?

Answer:

A runway incursion is the unauthorized presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a runway, compromising separation. It typically results from miscommunication, loss of situational awareness, or failure to follow ATC instructions. In contrast, a runway excursion occurs when an aircraft slides off, skids off, or overruns the runway during takeoff or landing. Excursions are often caused by contaminated runways, unstable approaches, or incorrect performance calculations. Both events affect flight safety but differ in nature—incursions involve separation conflicts, while excursions involve departing the runway surface.

Runway incursion and runway excursion are two distinct types of aviation incidents, each involving different risks and circumstances. A runway incursion is defined as the unauthorized presence of an aircraft, vehicle, or person on the protected area of a runway designated for landing and take-off. This can occur due to miscommunication between controller and pilot or driver, errors in following taxi instructions, low visibility condition, or wildlife. A runway excursion occurs when an aircraft unintentionally departs from the runway surface during takeoff or landing. The aircraft can veer-off and overrun. This may be a consequence of incorrect performance calculation, discrepancy between the declared state of the runway and the actual state, significant overshoot, rejected takeoff after V1, landing gear, brake or tire failure.

A runway incursion is when an aircraft, vehicle or person enters the runway without permission. A runway excursion is when an aircraft leaves the runway during take-off or landing. So, incursion is about entering the runway, while excursion is about leaving it.
