Two examples of an operational incident are clearing an aircraft onto a runway when another aircraft is landing or taking off or issuing a take-off clearance while another aircraft or vehicle is occupying the runway. This deviation could be a vehicle crossing a runway hold marking before receiving ATC clearance.

Two mistakes you’ll want to try your best to avoid are a pilot deviation or a runway incursion. A pilot deviation happens when you violate an FAA regulation or an instruction from Air Traffic Control (ATC). This could be caused by landing without clearance, straying from an assigned altitude, or any number of other errors.
