Runway Safety: Standardization vs. Harmonization in Aviation
Explore the essential differences between standardization and harmonization in runway safety within aviation, as explained by Capt. Paul McCarthy, IFALPA Representative to ICAO. Learn how standardization focuses on system design and training, while harmonization ensures uniformity and compatibility among different systems to enhance overall safety. Discover the importance of involving active pilots in crafting local solutions that align with standardized procedures and expectations for transient crews.

Standardization vs. Harmonization Capt. Paul Mccarthy IFALPA Representative to ICAO
Before we Begin Runway Safety is really two very different issues Excursion Incursion The only thing in common is the word runway. Don t try to harmonize the solutions
Standardization Pilots are by nature creatures of standardization- plan the flight and fly the plan Standardization is achieved by system design and repetitive training Exceptions to standardization can and will induce human error
Harmonization Adjustment of differences and inconsistencies among different systems to make them uniform or mutually compatible Business dictionary.com Problems may well be local but solutions cannot be
Harmonization A unique problem for an aerodrome or ANSP must be dealt with in a manner consistent with the standardized training of the crew Local solutions that are not harmonized will compound the difficulty for the crew.
Solution Include active pilots in any local runway safety effort. They can help to craft a solution to a local problem that will be harmonized with the SOPs and expectations of transient crews
