Abstract As part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) airport pavement management efforts, the Bureau of Aviation (BOA) retained Applied Pavement Technology, Inc. (APTech), assisted by DY Consultants, to evaluate the condition of the pavements at 95 public-use airports and heliports and to update their existing airport pavement management system (APMS) originally implemented in 2001. The results of this project are presented in this report and can be used by the BOA and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to identify, prioritize, and schedule pavement maintenance and rehabilitation actions at these airports. During this project, the conditions of the pavements were assessed using the FAA pavement condition index (PCI) methodology – the industry standard in aviation for visually assessing the condition of pavements. During a PCI evaluation, inspectors walk over the pavement and identify visible signs of deterioration. Pavement defects are characterized in terms of type of distress, severity level of distress, and amount of distress. This information is then used to develop a composite index (PCI number) that represents the overall condition of the pavement in numerical terms, ranging from 0 (failed) to 100 (excellent). The PCI number provides an overall measure of condition and an indication of the level of maintenance or rehabilitation work that will be required to maintain or repair a pavement. The individual distress information (such as cracking, rutting, and so on) provides insight into what is causing the pavement to deteriorate, which in turn can be used to select the appropriate maintenance or rehabilitation action to correct the problem. PCI data also serve as the basis for an APMS – a computerized tool used to track pavement condition, identify pavement repair needs, and develop prioritized maintenance and rehabilitation programs with associated schedules and budgets. 17.

  • National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report
    National Transportation Safety Board Aviation Accident Final Report Location: West Chester, PA Accident Number: NYC08FA261 Date & Time: 07/30/2008, 1830 EDT Registration: N333MY Aircraft: Eclipse Aviation Corporation EA500 Aircraft Damage: Substantial Defining Event: Landing area overshoot Injuries: 2 None Flight Conducted Under: Part 91: General Aviation - Personal Analysis During landing at its home airport, the airplane overran the runway and traveled down a 40- foot embankment before coming to rest against trees and sustaining substantial damage. According to the pilot, his speed on approach was a little fast but he thought it was manageable. Recorded data from the accident airplane revealed that 20 seconds before touchdown, when the pilot selected flaps 30 (landing flaps) the airspeed was approximately 27 knots above the maximum flap extension speed, and as the airplane touched down its airspeed was approximately 14 knots higher than specified for landing. The runway had a displaced threshold with 3,097 feet of runway length available. Skid marks from the accident airplane began approximately 868 feet beyond the displaced threshold, and continued for about 2,229 feet until they left the paved portion of the runway. Probable Cause and Findings The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: The pilot's failure to obtain the proper touchdown point, and his excessive airspeed on approach. Findings Aircraft Airspeed - Not attained/maintained (Cause) Personnel issues Aircraft control - Pilot (Cause) Incorrect action performance - Pilot (Cause) Page 1 of 9 Factual Information HISTORY OF FLIGHT On July 30, 2008, about 1832 eastern daylight time, an Eclipse Aviation Corporation EA500, N333MY, sustained substantial damage during a runway overrun while landing at Brandywine Airport (OQN), West Chester, Pennsylvania.
