An engineered materials arrestor system, engineered materials arresting system (EMAS), or arrester bedrunway to reduce the severity of the consequences of a runway excursion. Engineered materials are defined in FAA Advisory Circular No 150/5220-22B as "high energy absorbing materials of selected strength, which will reliably and predictably crush under the weight of an aircraft". While the current technology involves lightweight, crushable concrete blocks, any material that has been approved to meet the FAA Advisory Circular can be used for an EMAS. The purpose of an EMAS is to stop an aircraft overrun with no human injury and minimal aircraft damage. The aircraft is slowed by the loss of energy required to crush the EMAS material. An EMAS is similar in concept to the runaway truck ramp or race circuit gravel trap, made of gravel or sand. It is intended to stop an aircraft that has overshot a runway when there is an insufficient free space for a standard runway safety area (RSA). Multiple patents have been issued on the construction and design on the materials and process.
As of May 2017, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been working on developing a harmonized regulation regarding arresting systems.
Research projects completed in Europe have looked into the cost-effectiveness of EMAS. Arrestor beds have been installed at airports where the runway safety areas are below standards, and their ability to stop aircraft with minimal or no damage to the air frame and its occupants has proven to bring results far beyond the cost of installations. The latest report, "Estimated Cost-Benefit Analysis of Runway Severity Reduction Based on Actual Arrestments", shows how the money saved through the first 11 arrestments has reached a calculated total of 1.9 billion USD, thus saving more than $1 B over the estimated cost of development (R&D, all installations worldwide, maintenance and repairs reaching a total of USD 600 million). The study suggests that mitigating the consequences of runway excursions worldwide may turn out to be much more cost-effective than the current focus on reducing the already very low probability of occurrence.
The FAA"s design criteria for new airports designate Runway Safety Areas (RSAs) to increase the margin of safety if an overrun occurs and to provide additional access room for response vehicles. A United States federal law required that the length of RSAs in airports was to be 1,000 feet (300 m) by the end of 2015, in a response to a runway overrun into a highway at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.
As of 2017 the FAA reported that EMAS systems had been used 12 times, but that in some situations pilots tried to avoid the EMAS, steering to the grass sides in 30–40 kn (56–74 km/h; 35–46 mph) low-energy events in order to avoid publicity.
Of the 15 non-U.S. installations, eight were provided by Zodiac Arresting Systems (two in China, two in Madrid, one in Taiwan, two in Norway and one in Saudi Arabia), six were provided by RunwaySafe (one in Switzerland, and three in overseas departments of France – one in Reunion Island, two in Mayotte), one in Japan, one in Germany, two in Brazil and one provided by Hankge (China).
The first EMAS was developed in the mid-1990s by ESCO/Engineered Arresting Systems Corp. (later Zodiac Arresting Systems) as part of a collaboration and technical acceptance by the FAA. The fourth generation EMAS arrestor beds are composed of blocks of lightweight, crushable cellular concrete material, encased in jet blast resistant protection, designed to safely stop airplanes that overshoot runways. Zodiac"s EMAS is installed on over 110 airport runways at over 65 airports on three continents.
The Swedish company Runway Safe AB developed an EMAS system, a foamed silica bed made from recycled glass contained within a high-strength plastic mesh system anchored to the pavement at the end of the runway. The foamed silica is poured into lanes bounded by the mesh and covered with a poured cement layer and treated with a top coat of sealant.

On 13 October 2006, New York Yankees player Alex Rodriguez"s private jet was brought to a halt safely by the EMAS installation at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California. The system was installed after the 2000 Southwest Airlines Flight 1455 runway overshoot that injured 43 passengers and the captain.

I understand its meaning in the context, but what does it exactly mean? I tried to Google the idiom, but I found only one hit in Urban Dictionary whose definition doesn"t seem to fit in the context (I don"t want to put it here).
I can"t find the origin of the idiom. I would like to know when and how the idiom started to mean what it means now. I can just speculate it could have started as a military term.
HALIFAX — Confusing runway instructions, an unexpected tailwind and crew fatigue were factors that contributed to a 2018 runway overshoot that destroyed a Boeing 747 cargo jet at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada says.
In an investigation report released Tuesday, the independent agency also cited insufficient braking on a wet runway, noting that the aircraft was wrecked as it slid down a grassy embankment 270 metres past the end of the runway. All three crew members received minor injuries, but the sole passenger – a deadheading pilot – was not injured.
The massive aircraft, operated by Sky Lease Cargo based in Miami, Fla., started its ill-fated flight at O’Hare International Airport in Chicago early on Nov. 7, 2018. The crew had planned to pick up live lobsters in Halifax, which were destined for markets in China.
The board’s investigation found that a confusing notice to pilots – known as a Notice to Airmen or NOTAM – led the crew to wrongly believe the longer of the two runways in Halifax – Runway 23 – was not available for landing. As a result, they planned to land on Runway 14, which is 2,347 metres long.
As the aircraft approached the runway in the dark just after 5 a.m., air traffic control failed to tell the crew about the availability of Runway 23, although an automated information system was broadcasting that information, the report said.
Less than 90 seconds before the jet crossed the threshold, the crew realized there was a tailwind to contend with, as well as a rain-slicked runway. Airplanes typically take off and land into the wind, which offers pilots more lift and, as a result, more control. But tailwind landings are possible within certain limits.
“Upon landing, a series of events prevented the aircraft from decelerating as expected and caused the aircraft to drift to the right of the runway,” the report said.
The document said that for some unknown reason, the thrust lever for the No. 1 engine was moved forward of the idle position, causing the speed brakes to retract and the autobrake system to disengage. Those changes increased the distance required to bring the aircraft to a stop.
“The pilot monitoring ? was focused on the lateral drift and, as a result, the required call-outs regarding the position of the deceleration devices were not made,” the report said.
The brakes were applied eight seconds after touchdown, but maximum braking effort did not occur until 15 seconds later, the report said. At that point, the 183,500-kilogram jumbo jet was about 240 metres from the end of the runway
As the plane skidded down the embankment, it hit a large localizer antenna, its landing gear collapsed, two of its four engines were torn off and there was a small fire under the tail section, caused by a severed engine.
The board identified two risk factors for fatigue that would have degraded the crew’s performance: the early morning timing of the flight and insufficient time for restorative sleep in the 24-hour period leading up to the overrun.
Because of “acute sleep disruption” and the timing of the landing, “the performance of the flight crew at the time of the accident would likely have been degraded by fatigue,” the report said.
The safety board also noted that the uneven terrain where the aircraft came to rest was beyond the runway’s 150-metre runway end safety area, which is designed to reduce the risk of damage to aircraft that land short of the runway or overshoot it.
The report said that in 2007, the board recommended Transport Canada require all runways longer than 1,800 metres to have a 300-metre runway end safety area or a means of stopping aircraft that provides an equivalent level of safety.

The positive resolution to a potentially disastrous event can be attributed to the Engineered Material Arresting System or EMAS located at the end of the runway.
EMAS is made up of massive blocks of material that collapse as the wheels of an airplane roll over it, thereby sinking the plane into the runway and bringing it to a safe and gradual stop. The system is designed to be able to stop aircraft traveling at speeds up to 80 mph.
Federal Aviation Administration began studying the technology in the early 1990s in conjunction with the University of Dayton, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey as well as Zodiac Arresting Systems in New Jersey.

Currently, there are two manufacturers who are certified to produce an EMAS system. Most of the airports in the US with the technology use Zodiac Arresting Systems" (formerly ESCO) crushable cellular cement for its EMAS.
A Philippine Airlines (PAL) Airbus A320overshot a runway on landing in the southern Philippine city of Butuan this morning (26 October), resulting in minor injuries and reportedly slight damage to the aircraft.
A spokesman says from Manila that “there were some reported injuries” in the 06:25 overrun but all are minor. On board were 148 passengers and six crew.
He is not able to confirm whether there is damage to the aircraft but reports from the scene say damage is minimal. The spokesman says the aircraft is registered as RP-C3224, which according to Flight’s ACAS database has a serial number of 753 and was built in 1997.
The ‘Endless Runway’ project is undoubtedly revolutionary and International Airport Review spoke to the project’s Senior R&D Manager Henk Hesselink for an exclusive insight.
Will the circular runway ever truly take off? Might circular runways solve aviation’s environmental challenges? ‘The Endless Runway‘ project, led by a team of Dutch scientists from the Netherlands Aerospace Centre (NLR) essentially presents the space-saving, emission-reducing concept of a circular runway best articulated in image form as you can see. The project and idea is undoubtedly revolutionary and to find out more International Airport Review spoke exclusively to Senior R&D Manager Henk Hesselink for a behind-the-scenes insight.
NLR led a consortium of research centres that investigated the idea of a circular runway. The work has been carried out with partners in The Netherlands, Germany, France, Spain and Poland. The work was partly funded by the Framework 7 programme of the European Commission. The European Commission recognises that mobility will be stressed the next decades and that new breaking technology will be necessary.
This runway is a circle, that has no limitations on where to take-off or land on this circle. This makes it possible to fly in from or out to any direction. The size of the circle is pretty large, its diameter is 3.5 kilometres. Total length of the runway therefore is 10 km. This means that passengers during take-off or landing will not feel like they are in a roller coaster, a maximum of 1.2g forces will be experienced, similar to a train on a curved track. A typical landing only requires a part of the runway with a limited curve.
Current airports operate runways with fixed directions, so a limited number of directions is available for take-off and landing. During a storm, the capacity of the runway is limited because of this. This fixed direction also means that some communities experience more noise than others.
At the Endless Runway, aircraft have the possibility to land anywhere on the circle. This gives the possibility to find always at least one point where there is no crosswind and only headwind. This means that the airport can operate a sustainable capacity.
The aircraft will take-off at the point where there is no crosswind. In limited wind conditions, aircraft can take-off and land anywhere on the circle. This makes it possible that an optimum point can be chosen, based on the origin of the landing aircraft or destination when taking off.
The runway is banked. Starting from the inner part of the circle on a flat surface, the bank angle will gradually increase to the outside. Because of the centrifugal forces a starting aircraft at the middle of the circle will move to the outer part until taking off.
A landing aircraft will need to land at the part of the slope depending on its speed and will gradually move down when slowing down. If the aircraft lands too high, the shape of the runway will force it to go down quickly until the right path is found. The other way around, the aircraft will be forced to the outside if it lands too low. We calculated that the runway must be extended up to a width of 140 meters to allow this as a safe operation. Flight tests have been performed in the 1960s using military aircraft, where pilots reported that the runway was easy to use and the bank angle made them move to the right path quickly (It must be mentioned that the first landings were more uncertain for the pilots, but quickly they started to get accustomed to the curved track.
The capacity of an airport with an Endless Runway is at least similar to that of a conventional airport with four runways, while the length of the circular runway is comparable to three. This makes it possible to use the runway with several aircraft simultaneously.
Flight times in the area around the airport will be reduced as aircraft can now almost fly straight in and out. Having said this, it will be possible to avoid large communities. We will be able to design routes that avoid the areas where most people live. Or we can design routes such that everyone around the airfield will experience a similar level of noise. Agreements can be made.
Another advantage of the concept is that the airport buildings can be constructed in the middle of the circle, reducing the size of the airport. We have estimated that a large airfield like the airfield of Paris will fit within the circle, which occupies an area of about one third of the size of the current airport.
Costs for constructing the airport will be higher than currently. The amount of concrete necessary will be larger than for normal runways as the width is larger. Besides, the construction will be more complex because of the bank angle. We estimated the airport to be about 1.5 times the costs of a conventional.
Major challenges are the safety aspects. Up to now, we have taken safety as a basis for all our simulations and calculations. Most responses I receive however concern the safety. As NLRwe always demand safety at the highest level and we need to take a step-by-step approach to keep ensuring that the operation remains safe. In follow on steps, with flight trials we will further investigate all possible safety aspects. Using flight trials, we will be able to control circumstances and further test all safety issues.
Within the project, we have designed a concept, procedures and we made a design for the airport. We have performed simulations, using a PC-based flight simulator and we used an air traffic control simulator to find out where we need to adapt current operations and procedures and what new developments will be necessary. We checked the take-off and landing under the most constrained situations with a B747 simulation.
We also designed an aircraft that would be optimised for use of the Endless Runway, based on future aircraft developments. We also carried out simulations in an ATC simulation where, again, we took a very constrained situation: we considered the busiest day of the year at Paris CDG airport to find out if is possible to handle all traffic on the circular runway. This was possible. It will be necessary to construct new controller assistance tools for planning traffic that comes from and flies out in all directions. We made a first design for such planning tools.
The project is an innovative project that aims at solutions beyond 2050. But with all attention that we receive now, I do hope that the topic is taken up at faster pace. It will certainly take many years, but my optimistic guess would be in about 20 years.
We want to give the current PC-simulations a follow on with performing flight trials. Using drones on an existing curved track, like a car test track, will allow fast and safe possibilities for testing.
We receive a lot of attention with the publication of the Endless Runway video and we will take the responses that we receive seriously. Many people question the behaviour of the aircraft in approach to the circular runway. This is exactly what we want to address in a follow on study. Up to now, we have address all issues, including safety matters, in a simulation environment. We have received a lot of results and all design decisions have been taken based on the results of the simulations.
The next step will be to perform actual flight tests. First for the standard behaviour of the aircraft on the Endless Runway during take-off and landing. We need to perform several flights to test many different operational circumstances. Specifically under different weather conditions. Next to this we want to test emergency procedures. In a controlled environment with pre-planned situations, we will be able to perform all kinds of emergencies during each phase of flight.
We envisage that these tests can be performed using drones. Not with the small quadcopters, but large fixed wing drones (up to e.g. 300 kg.). These drones can be tested at existing circular tracks, like test tracks for cars.
After these tests, we can perform manned flights and after this, it will be good to develop real runways, exactly as we have calculated them to be in the study and based on the flight trials. We keep developing the runway, always keeping safety in mind. And once the runways have been tested, we can start operational tests with real runways and real airports. This will take a time frame of several decades; as mentioned before, the study of the Endless Runway was for the year 2050 and beyond.
What do you think about the circular runway project? Is it a genuine revolution or an overambitious science project? As ever, feel free to comment and share your thoughts with International Airport Review.

Sydney Airport (YSSY) operates two parallel runways set at 1,037 metres apart. Using a procedure called independent visual approaches (IVA), two aircraft can be on final approach at the same time while operating in visual meteorological conditions.
A thorough understanding of the rules and procedures by all pilots is vital. Below is a list of important instructions and advisory information for conducting IVAs at Sydney:
if for any reason, including radio failure or radio congestion, contact cannot be established or maintained with Director preventing instructions being issued by ATC or a vectoring request being made by the flight crew to enable intercept of the final approach course for the assigned runway, then an aircraft should initiate a turn in order to track the extended centreline of the assigned runway
Pilots must remember that it is imperative they are fully aware of their responsibility to fly accurate heading and fly onto final without overshooting the runway centreline.
Washington: Federal safety officials are directing operators of some Boeing planes to adopt extra procedures when landing on wet or snowy runways near impending 5G service because, they say, interference from the wireless networks could mean that the planes need more room to land.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that interference could delay systems like thrust reversers on Boeing 787s from kicking in, leaving only the brakes to slow the plane.
Boeing said it is working with its suppliers, airlines, telecom companies and regulators “to ensure that every commercial airplane model can safely and confidently operate when 5G is implemented in the United States.
The order for the Boeing jets comes a day after the FAA began issuing restrictions that airlines and other aircraft operators will face at many airports when AT&T and Verizon launch new, faster 5G wireless service Wednesday.
The agency is still studying whether those wireless networks will interfere with altimeters, which measure an aircraft’s height above the ground. Data from altimeters is used to help pilots land when visibility is poor.
