This report provides the results of our review of the Federal Aviation Administrations (FAA) implementation of Runway Status Lights (RWSL). We conducted this review as part of our ongoing efforts to assess FAAs actions to reduce runway incursions. The objectives of our audit were to (1) determine RWSLs viability for reducing runway incursions and (2) assess FAAs progress in implementing the system. Our review was conducted between June and January of 2008 and included site visits to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) and FAA Headquarters. Exhibit A details our scope and methodology.
