It was announced from Curacao on 17th June that CANSO, the Civil Air Navigation Services Organisation, has launched a major initiative to improve runway safety at airports. The initiative provides a runway safety checklist for airports and air navigation service providers (ANSPs) as well as key tips for both pilots and air traffic controllers.

As well as the key tips for pilots and ATCOs, the material that is being launched includes a revised and updated education booklet Unstable Approaches – ATC Considerations, as well as an app that can be downloaded to smart devices such as tablets and smartphones from www.cansosafety.com.
