NTSB Recommends Clearer Marking for Closed Runways

Newest Recommendations Imply Ambiguity in Present Conventions

The National Transportation Safety Board recommends that the Federal Aviation Administration:

Require the use of physical devices or other means to clearly indicate to flight crews of arriving and departing aircraft that a runway is closed. (A-03-05)

Study the safety and design of existing safety barrier and lighting equipment intended for placement on or near runways during closures and establish safety standards for frangibility, as well as other properties (including, but not limited to, wind resistance and conspicuity of lights and markings under various weather, lighting, and visibility conditions). If existing equipment does not meet these standards, new equipment should be developed. (A-03-06)
