If a pilot operating at an uncontrolled field sees the
movement of other aircraft, but doesn’t hear anything
on frequency, this may indicate that the pilot has tuned
an incorrect CTAF frequency.
Runway Incursion, Pedestrian Version
The FAA and many pilot organizations have given much
attention in recent months to prevention of runway
incursions involving aircraft. However, these events
may also involve pedestrians, as a general aviation
pilot discovered after parking his aircraft at a new
FBO.
I had flown into [airport] with a CFII for my
instrument cross-country requirement, and the aircraft
was secured with…a new FBO. Weather the following
day prevented my departure, so we stayed over another
day… My brother-in-law drove me to the airport but we
were unable to locate the road to get to the new FBO
location. Time was getting late to make my takeoff…
and my brother-in-law was going to be late for work.
We never did find the road that led to the FBO.
We noticed what appeared to be a ramp path from some
hangers just south of the Tower area, where I could see
the FBO across what appeared to be all ramp. Some new
construction was also seen, a new taxiway to the new
FBO area with cones blocking any vehicle movement on
the taxiway. I elected to take what seemed to be a safe
path across a construction zone. I did not see any
runways when I exited my brother-in-law’s car…
As I approached the construction area, I noticed the
Runway 10 threshold and realized the runway was there,
but still thought it was part of the construction area as
the runway’s surface condition was quite rough. To be
safe, I looked for traffic and walked around the threshold
end of Runway 10 in the mud. After I had passed, I
noticed a Cessna 172 and a King Air enter the run-up
area, then they took Runway 10 for takeoff a few minutes
later. At that time I realized this runway was still active.
I continued to walk to the FBO across the newly
constructed ramp area south of Runway 10 when the
airport authority representative in a truck stopped me…
He informed me that what I had done was a runway
incursion and, after quick reflection, I agreed with him…
The airport authority suggested I contact the FBO by
phone, as it is part of their services to me as a pilot to
help me get around the airport in just such instances.
While the runway incursion event with an airplane was
clear to me through reading AOPA Air Safety Foundation
literature, I did not comprehend at the time the same
event could be triggered by a pedestrian. I now fully
understand this and will avoid it under all
circumstances in the future.
In 1999, the most recent complete year for which the
FAA has collected runway incursion data, Vehicle-
Pedestrian deviations accounted for 19% of all runway
incursion events. Pilots who find themselves in our
reporter’s situation should resist walking or driving
across the airport surface. Help is usually just a phone
call (or radio call) away.

“The weather outside is frightful,” begins
a popular holiday song. A general
aviation pilot who experienced frightful
winter weather tells an unusual story of
how his aircraft became a grounded
“snow bird”:
I was flying…at 7000 feet on an IFR flight plan. The
weather at destination was MVFR and forecast to
deteriorate. I was concerned that I might finish my
flight with an insufficient fuel reserve. I therefore
resolved to make a precautionary landing at [airport
XYZ] to rest, refuel, and get a detailed update to my
weather briefing. I selected XYZ because it was the
nearest airport with an IFR approach, and…the next
sizable airport on my route was too far away and had
worse weather than XYZ.
On receiving my request, Center immediately cleared me
for a VFR approach to XYZ. I was unable to locate the
airport and requested and received vectors to the ILS
approach to Runway 06. The approach was bumpy, but
I could see the approach lights from 4000 feet. I could
not make out the runway lights, and assumed they must
be dim and the pilot-controlled lighting inoperative.
I was unable to increase their brightness using pilotcontrolled
