Estudo das condições de superfície de um aeródromo em Barra do Garças – MT

Abstract

With the growth of the aviation sector, there is a greater concern with the conditions of the airport installations, especially the pavements of the landing and take-off runways, as they must have adequate conditions for the operations to be carried out safely, avoiding accidents or inci dents. The surface condition of the pavement must ensure comfort when rolling, being a very useful parameter in decision-making regarding intervention actions. In addition, another ex tremely important factor is the condition of the surface texture, as it contributes to the aircraft braking process and, as a result, to landing operations. The present work analyzed the landing and take-off runway of the Municipal Airport of Barra do Garças – MT, where inspections of the condition of the pavement were carried out through the PCI method, aiming to evaluate the superficial degradations; in addition to performing the sand stain test to characterize the surface texture. Based on the results obtained, it was possible to observe that the runway meets the minimum texture values specified by ANAC; as well as the recommended pavement condition index, requiring only routine maintenance, so that the pavement condition is maintained.
