Runway incursion.
Runway incursion.
Bottom line
Runway incursions develop quickly and without warning during routine traffic situations on the airport surface, leaving little time for corrective action. Runway confusion is a subset of runway incursions and often results in you unintentionally taking off or landing on a taxiway or wrong runway. Always carry a current airport diagram and trace or highlight your taxi route to the departure runway prior to leaving the ramp.
