1. What does Part 139 - Inspection of Un- Inspecting an unpaved runway used for air
paved Areas mean? carrier use.
Maintain and repair surface of gravel, turf,
or other unpaved runway, taxiway, loading
ramp, or taxiway available for air carrier
use.
Example: Alaska
2. Pavement and Safety Area: Pavement Re- -survive adverse weather.
quirements -abrasive pounding.
-sudden loads that impact pavement-air-
craft lands/takes off.
3. Which of the following types of pavement Asphalt
are laid out without expansion joints or
seams?
4. Describe Asphalt pavement. Laid without expansion joints or seams
(poured).
Less expensive than concrete to install.
Higher maintenance.
Susceptible to oxidation from the ultravio-
let rays. Sun lightens and obscures mark-
ings.
5. Describe concrete pavement. -distinctive slabs, requires seams or joints.
-Higher cost.

-withstands higher aircraft loads.
-Resists weathering and oil / fuel spillage.
6. Pavement Condition and Inspection: 3Dep/5Dia/45°
What is inspected in the daily prevention
inspection for holes and cracks? Holes opening more than 5 Inches in di-
ameter, exceeding 3 inches in depth, with
an inside side slope greater than 45 de-
grees.
Any crack that could impede/ impair the
directional control of an aircraft.
7. What is inspected in the daily prevention Pavement edges exceeding 3 inches (or
inspection for pavement outside of holes that could impede water runoff.)
and cracks?
Buildup of rubber deposits.
Report and monitor any cracks, holes, vari-
ations and vegetation.
Loose joint seal material.
8. What is the most effective means of pre- Thru an APMS -Airport Pavement Manage-
serving airport runways, taxiways, and oth- ment System
er paved areas? -Focuses on preventative maintenance
9. ____________ occurs when water has built up Pumping
in the pavement base and pressure from
an aircraft load, or contracting soils causes
the pavement to suddenly blow out.
10. What asphalt category of defects includes Disintegration
raveling and potholes (as well as scaling,

map cracking, crazing [hairline cracks], Al-
kali-Sicilia Reaction (ASR) and Spalling [slab
breakdown])?
11. Describe the asphalt category for defects: Longitudinal, transverse, shrinkage, shat-
Cracking tered slab, alligator, etc.
Longitudinal cracking is more severe than
transverse due to the propensity of an air-
craft tire to get stuck in the crack.
12. What asphalt category of defects includes Distortion
ruts, depressions, and swelling (pumping,
settlement, shoving/by unstable concrete)?
13. What asphalt category of defects includes Loss of skid resistance.
polished aggregate, contaminants, fuel/oil
spillage?
14. How is most pavement deteriorated? WAS
Weather, aging, and structural loads.
15. Check ACN and PCN:

How can one decipher if a plane is too Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) -
heavy for a runway? Based on weight and wheelbase.
AND
Corresponding Pavement Classification
Number (PCN) - Based on testing Airport's
pavement.
AND
If the ACN > PCN = Aircraft cannot operate
without restrictions on airport runway.
If the PCN > ACN= Aircraft can operate with-
out restrictions on airport runway.
16. What are the two ways friction is measured Decelerometer (DEC)
on pavement? Assess friction properties
Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment
(CFME)
Continuous graphic record
17. Prior to the development of the 2016 Pilots used braking action (reports)
Runways Condition Assessment Matrix and
(RCAM), how were runway conditions mea- Airport Operators used friction (Mu Read-
