Abstract: Runway incursions are prevalent aviation safety issues that result in adverse outcomes. The focus of this qualitative case study was exploring the reduction of runway incursions through training for pilots. Applying social cognitive theory (SCT) provided this study with a theoretical underpinning. Conducting interviews and a focus group with 17 participants allowed for the collection of enough data and resulted in identifying the importance of training in preventing runway incursions. Based on the thematic analysis conducted, it was identified that evidence-based, scenario-based, and continuous training can be used to reduce runway incursions caused by pilot deviations. The results contribute to advancing understanding by providing qualitative evidence from the perspectives of pilots on the reduction of runway incursions through training. Overall, there is a need for additional qualitative literature exploring the management of runway incursions through training from the perspective of other aviation professionals, such as air traffic controllers and airside vehicle drivers, to decrease the gap in research.
