At non-towered airports, statistics on the number of runway incursions or near midair collisions are often unavailable or incomplete. As a result, assessing and mitigating the risk of such incidents is difficult for airport operators, consultants, and regulators. This lack of data prevents such risks from being proactively addressed.

The objective of this research is to develop a guide that reviews and summarizes existing data and regulations regarding non-towered runway incursions and near midair collisions.
