- increase the likelihood
- complex layouts
- inadequate signage
- taxi routes
According to Transport Canada, the factors that may be a causal factor to the increase in runway incursion are:
– the increase in traffic volume which would increase the likelihood of runway incursion
– complex aerodrome layouts from improvement projects which together with inadequate signage’s, markings, aerodrome design standards and lack of standard taxi routes.
