On Page 61 of this July 2007 report, the first two sentences of
Section 2.2.1.4 state the FAA and ICAO definitions of a runway
incursion.


The FAA adopted the ICAO definition a year ago.



To a non-pilot (also non-native English, so...) not knowing
if "runway" has a definition that restricts it to a particular
portion, there's little doubt that the definition of runway incursion
is restricted to the runway envelope. The FAA definition could easily
be mistaken for the taxiway and other airport areas if "runway" had
been omitted from the "any occurrence in the airport runway
environment involving..." bit.


So a seminar attendee could have been confused if FSDO dude had misstated
the old definition of runway incursion? Is that what you're saying?
