  • For those, like me, ignorant of that jargon:

    RESA

    A runway safety area (RSA) or runway end safety area (RESA, if at the end of the runway) is defined as “the surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway.”

    EMAS

    An engineered materials arrestor system, engineered materials arresting system (EMAS), or arrester bed is a bed of engineered materials built at the end of a runway to reduce the severity of the consequences of an aircraft running off the end of a runway.
