Analysis of the Standard USAF Runway Skid Resistance Tests

Abstract

Data gathered during the Air Force Civil Engineering Center (AFCEC) standard skid resistance surveys conducted on 56 runways during the period November 1973 to September 1974 are analyzed. This report outlines the major milestones leading up to the present AFCEC program to determine runway skid resistance characteristics; refinements made to the program, description of equipment used to determine runway skid resistance characteristics, operating and test procedures and analysis of the skid measurement program.
