In a "safety bulletin" issued Wednesday, the International Federation of Air Line Pilots' Associations notes the risk of runway incursions at Pearson, where "several" have occurred since March of this year. TSB investigation ongoingLast month, the Transportation Safety Board said there have been at least 25 close calls at Pearson in the last five years. In June 2012, the GTAA completed its own probe into runway incursions at the south complex of the airport. It found 40 "occurrences of interest" between 2004 and the end of 2011, and 20 of them were inner runway incursions. "Most pilots fear the taxiing around an airport far more than they ever do a flight," Williams said.
