FAA AC 150/5380-6C: Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements
Details
Abstract: This advisory circular (AC) provides guidelines and procedures for maintaining airport pavements. It provides information on the types of pavement distress that occur to airport pavements and typical corrective action during preventive and remedial maintenance activities. Typical preventive and regular or recurring pavement maintenance includes: routine cleaning, filling, and/or sealing of cracks; patching pavement; seal coating; grading pavement edges; maintaining pavement drainage systems; and restoring pavement markings. Timely maintenance and repair of pavements is essential in maintaining adequate load-carrying capacity, good ride quality necessary for the safe operation of aircraft, good friction characteristics under all weather conditions, and minimizing the potential for foreign object debris (FOD).
