A Piper PA-31, registered VH-ITF, and a Saab 340B, registered VH-ZRH, were involved in a runway incursion incident at Carnarvon Airport, Australia.
The Saab 340B, operating flight flight ZL2269 to Perth, entered the active runway 22 after the Piper PA-31 had commenced its take-off roll. The PA-31 rejected the take-off.
Contributing factors
- The flight crew of VH-ZRH were not aware, as they entered the runway, that VH-ITF had commenced its take-off roll. As a result, a potential conflict existed that required the pilot in command of VH-ITF to reject their take-off.
- The lookout conducted by the flight crew of VH-ZRH before entering the runway was not effective in identifying VH-ITF on the runway threshold. This was likely influenced by the crew’s expectation that VH-ITF had already departed.
- Although both flight crews were aware that they were mutual traffic, they both had an incorrect understanding of the other’s position and/or intentions, which led to them not recognising the potential conflict and therefore not directly communicating with each other.
