This is a crisis.... Thanks for the CAA report link. Its a very interesting read.
From the stats its quite evident that the majority of incursions take place at London Airports so why conduct a trial at a regional airport where the results are going to have minimal impact ?
Personally, I believe that the emphasis should be made on not crossing red stop bars! It doesnt matter if you have a conditional clearance, if the stop bar is lit you dont cross it, you query it instead. this method would put a fail safe method for entering runways in. DAYLIGHT hours? then have stop bars illuminated! surely this is a better way forward! I digress.
For the trial at BHX, its very important to get the views of aircrew who fly in/out of BHX. You can do this via the Brum ATC website which is monitored by the ATC technical committee!
