for Unit 1. This presentation covers the essential vocabulary and
phraseology that aviation professionals need to master to ensure safe
operations on and around runways.

We'll explore core operational terms, standard ICAO phraseology,


human factors terminology, and important multi-word expressions. Each
section builds your knowledge of critical communication protocols
designed to prevent runway incursions and enhance overall safety.
Core Operational Terms
Understanding the physical locations and actions related to runway operations is
fundamental to aviation safety. These terms form the foundation of clear communication
between pilots, air traffic controllers, and ground personnel.

Term Definition Example

Runway incursion Unauthorized presence "A vehicle caused a


on a runway runway incursion."
