The National Transportation Safety Board accident/incident database and the Aviation Safety Reporting System have reported pilots mistakenly landing on the taxiways adjacent to runways. As of August 23, 2007, 267 such events have occurred at 110 airports in the United States. These inadvertent landings create a safety hazard that must be eliminated. This technical note provides guidance on techniques that can be implemented at airports to reduce or eliminate this problem. DOT/FAA/AR-TN07/54
