Potential for Wrong Runway Landings at Tucson International (KTUS)
Numerous wrong-runway landings have occurred at Tucson International Airport (KTUS), especially when runways 29 are in use. Many pilots have mistaken runway 29R for 29L, or Taxiway Alpha for a landing surface. Taxiway Alpha is north and parallel to Runway 11L/29R. Ensure correct runway lineup. Runway 29L is the shorter runway on the south side of the airport. Pilots are urged to thoroughly plan for their arrival at Tucson in advance. Review the current airport diagram, in addition to the attached photos depicting runways 29 at KTUS. https://www.faasafety.gov/files/notices/2018/Mar/KTUS_Runways_29_and_Taxiway_A.pdf For questions, please contact Charlotte York, Tucson ATCT Support Specialist: 520-295-5723; Charlotte.York@faa.gov
Volcano Watch — Potential long-term outcomes of recent intrusions in Kīlauea East Rift Zone
Volcano Watch is a weekly article and activity update written by U.S. Geological Survey Hawaiian Volcano Observatory scientists and affiliates. Chain of Craters within Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park before 1969, when several craters were partly or completely filled with lava. Now the Chain of Craters Road turns south, away from its pre-1969 route, between Pauahi and ʻAloʻi, a pit crater buried in 1969 by Maunaulu lava flows. The junction with the Hilina Pali Road is essentially at Devil’s Throat. The eruption in and near Nāpau Crater on September 15–20 is an example of a brief eruption in this area. If
USGS-Led Study Reassesses Earthquake Hazard Potential for Central California’s Hosgri Fault
Regional map showing the main fault structures that are part of the Pacific–North American plate boundary along central California. The San Gregorio–Hosgri fault system is predominantly located near the coastline and highlighted in red. Inset map shows the focus region of this study where the Cross-Hosgri slope is located. A new study from United States Geological Survey (USGS) researchers and industry partners uses advanced sub-surface analyses and sediment dating to reassess the slip rate of the Hosgri fault off the central California coast. The research was led by Dr. Jared Kluesner, USGS Research Geophysicist at the Pacific Coastal and Marine
