Table 16-2 presents examples of frequently reported airport hazards. In most situations, the
parties listed in the table are those reporting the issues; in special circumstances, other stake-
holders may report the issue. Some of these issues are SRA candidates, particularly if reported
frequently at the airport, frequently at a specific location, or in the movement area of the airfield.
For these hazard categories, only the most serious or frequently reported issues generally lead
to a formal SRA. In fact, convening a panel would only slow the decision-making and reaction
processes necessary for normal daily operations. Airports are encouraged to consider panels in
those cases of frequently recurring issues; an example might be FOD reported every day, in the
same location, at about the same time of day. Examples like this are clear indications of systemic
problems that a panel might be better equipped to solve completely. The SRA process would
identify root causes, determine risk levels, and mitigate the situations more thoroughly rather
than just treating the symptom—routinely picking up the FOD every day.
