How we prevent runway overshotting by zodiac arresting system ( EMAS max).

 Air travel has never been safer than today but this kind of security has jeopardize by runway excursions 

The international flight saftey standardization analysed the world wide aviation data from 2008 to 2019 this data states that

The runway excursions occurs 2 to 3 times per month.

And are responsible for the 97% of all runway accident in aviation.

And 30% of all aircrafts accidents.

But the most eye opening statement is that 

Runway saftey related accidents when excursion occurs= 83% of fatal runway accidents.

Heartfield Atlanta international airport feb-20, 2016 

A Gulfstream-150 businesses jet overuns the runway-09R and passes through Runway safety areas and stopped.

Fuel leakage occurs, substantil damage to the aircraft

And 8 people got major injury and 2 got died in the accidents.

Then at heart field Atlanta airport on Nov-10 2016 one one Cessna citation aircraft overshoots the runway-27 but this Runway have zodiac arresting system.

Then 5 passenger accelerate the aircraft quickly, without any fuel leakage, any fire, and with minimal damage to the aircraft.

Then after aircraft tow safely to the hanger and just after one hour Runway reopens.

Zodiac arresting system ( EMAS max) has game changer in aviation which reduces major accidents of Runway overshotting, with minimal damage to the aircraft.

As by the FAA- every airport has it's minimal safely area to prevent the runway overshotting.

Which includes 1000ft Runway safety area or EMAS( engineering material arresting system)

Providing a comparable level of safety.

As per FAA guidance EMAS can reduce the runway saftey area upto 600ft.

San Luis Obispo country airport has the first airport which having EMAS arresting system. EMAS arresting system can safely stop the fighter aircrafts also.

By applying 300ft rescue beds of an EMAS.

How does an EMAS stop the aircraft-

EMAS consists of engineering cellular cements blocks Were they are designed to stop the aircraft at 70 knots or less.

The strength of the EMAS are designed by considering the airports aircrafts fleet and by computer modeling.

The interrastion of EMAS beds and aircrafts wheels brings the aircraft slow down.

EMAS beds are remains functional all the time but repair has to be made from time to time

Zodiac aresting system EMAS has safely stop the 23 aircrafts till now and by saving thousands of lifes of people. The EMAS has capable of stopping the big jumbo aircrafts like b747 at JFK airport New York in 2005.

It is the only system that has stopped the aircraft safely by giving 100% of performance.

The EMAS has installed over 150+ Runways in the world.

And Also ICAO introduces the guidelines for the installation of The EMAS in the Annexure-14.

Think if this EMAS has installed in India we can very well capable of stopping recent accident which is happened at kozikode airport that Air India express b737 has overshoots the runway, if there is an EMAS system installed we can save that 18 peoples those who lost their lifes in that crash.

And also the crash happened at Mangalore airport in 2010.
