Approach and Landing Accident Reduction (ALAR)Approach and landing accident reduction (ALAR) has long been among Flight Safety Foundation’s (FSF’s) primary goals. When the international FSF ALAR Task Force published its report in 1998, it cited data showing that an average of 17 fatal ALAs had occurred each year from 1980 through 1998 in passenger and cargo operations involving aircraft weighing 5,700 kg/12,500 lb or more. The task force’s work, and the subsequent safety products and international workshops on the subject, have helped reduce the risk of ALAs — but the accidents still occur. In 2008, of 19 major accidents, eight were ALAs, compared with 12 of 17 major accidents the previous year. Since the ALAR campaign began, various members of the FSF Controlled Flight Into Terrain and Approach and Landing Action Group (CAAG) have conducted numerous ALAR workshops around the world, and the Foundation has distributed more than 40,000 copies of the FSF ALAR Tool Kit — a unique set of pilot briefing notes, videos, presentations, risk-awareness checklists and other products designed to prevent ALAs. It is the Foundation’s intention to periodically update the Tool Kit to include new information aimed at reducing the risk of runway excursions. |
