Vocabulary: Runway Incursions & Ground Movement

Flashcards on this page

This page includes a 17-card interactive flashcard deck. Here’s a taste:

• runway incursion — An aircraft or vehicle enters an active runway without ATC clearance — one of the most serious airport safety events.
• surface movement radar — A radar system that tracks the position of every aircraft and vehicle moving on the ground at an airport.
• crossing clearance — Official permission from ATC to cross an active runway. Without it, you hold short — however long the wait.

Members study all 17 cards — flip, shuffle and star them, and review each one with spaced repetition on the Study dashboard, timed for just before it fades.
