Types of runway safety incidents include:
- Runway excursion
- Runway overrun
- Runway incursion
- Runway confusion
- Runway undershoot

Runway Pavement
- Pavement surface:
- Maximize friction for wheel or aircraft tires braking
- Dry Runway Friction
- Rejected Take Off - Take-off and Landing Performance - En-route Performance
- Runway Surface State: the depth of water in the touchdown zone, or the measured or observed braking action.
- Minimize hydroplaning following heavy rain
- Grooving-Surfaces to be surface water film flows into the grooves and the peaks between grooves will still be in contact with the aircraft tires.
- Pavement subsurface drainage and underdrains: help provide extended life and excellent and reliable pavement performance
- Pavement Surface type codes:
- ASP: Asphalt
- BIT: Bituminous asphalt or tarmac
- BRI: Bricks (no longer in use, covered with asphalt or concrete now)
- CLA: Clay
- COM: Composite
- CON: Concrete
- COP: Composite
- COR: Coral (fine crushed coral reef structures)
- GRE: Graded or rolled earth, grass on graded earth
- GRS: Grass or earth not graded or rolled
- GVL: Gravel
- ICE: Ice
- LAT: Laterite
- MAC: Macadam
- PEM: Partially concrete, asphalt or bitumen-bound macadam
- PER: Permanent surface, details unknown
- PSP: Marston Matting (derived from pierced/perforated steel planking)
- SAN: Sand
- SMT: Sommerfeld Tracking
- SNO: Snow
- U: Unknown surface
- WAT: Water
