New Safety Video for Tucson International Airport
Numerous wrong-runway landings have occurred at Tucson International Airport (KTUS), especially when runways 11/29 are in use. Many pilots have mistaken runway 29R for 29L, 11L for 11R, or Taxiway Alpha for a landing surface. Taxiway Alpha is north and parallel to Runway 11L/29R. Pilots are urged to thoroughly plan for their arrival at Tucson in advance. Review the airport diagram, as the airport geometry is complex. Please view this new Runway Safety video, with a focus on operations at KTUS: http://aftw.org/tus-releases-runway-safety-video/ Please also view this video on Wrong Surface Landings, developed by the FAA Runway Safety Group: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5II-s_j35cI&feature=youtu.be For questions, please contact
