runway excursion

A runway excursion occurs when an aircraft unintentionally departs from the designated runway surface during takeoff or landing. This can happen due to factors like slippery conditions, pilot error, mechanical issues, or poor visibility. The aircraft might go off the side or end of the runway, often leading to potential damage or injury. Runway excursions are serious safety events that airports and airlines work to prevent through careful maintenance, pilot training, and safety protocols. When they do occur, emergency response procedures are implemented to ensure passenger and crew safety.
