What action is necessary if a runway incursion occurs that requires immediate corrective action?

In the event of a runway incursion that necessitates immediate corrective action, taking corrective action immediately is crucial for ensuring the safety of the aircraft, its passengers, and crew. Runway incursions can lead to serious accidents, and timely intervention can prevent collisions. Immediate corrective actions can include maneuvering the aircraft away from danger, stopping on the runway to avoid a potential collision, or initiating a go-around if on approach.

While notifying the control tower at the earliest opportunity is important for situational awareness and coordinating the response to the incursion, the priority must always be to ensure the aircraft’s safety through immediate corrective actions. Similarly, filing a report after the flight and initiating an emergency landing are processes that would come after the initial and urgent corrective actions have been addressed. The emphasis here is on prioritizing safety and decision-making in real-time during a critical situation.
