National Runway Friction Measurement Program.

Abstract

Measurements of runway friction, pavement surface conditions and engineering data for 491 runways at 268 U.S. airports are used for statistical analysis to develop guidance materials to insure the design and maintenance of nonslippery surfaces at United States airports. Friction values are analyzed as they relate to pavement type, texture depth, grooving, and rubber accumulation. The basic concepts of Advisory Circular 150/5320-12 are supported by the data. Corrective maintenance action is recommended for runways with friction values less than the recommended value of 0.50. (Author)
