Airfield Pavement Condition Survey, USNAS Moffett Field, California

Abstract

The results of a condition survey and friction measurements on the runways at the U.S. Naval Air Station, Moffett Field, California are presented. The survey established statistically-based condition numbers (weighted defect densities) which were direct indicators of the condition of the individual pavement facilities. The runway friction measurements showed the aircraft hydroplaning/skidding potential of the field. The results of the condition survey show an increase in the amount of pattern cracking on Runway 14R-32L and a slight decrease in the amount of defective joint seal on Runway 14L-32R. Runway friction measurements show Runway 14R-32L has very high probability for most aircraft to hydroplane and Runway 14L-32R has the potential to cause hydroplaning of some aircraft.
