RUNWAY MARKINGS - A SAFETY FACTOR

MODERN AIRPORT RUNWAY REQUIREMENTS AND PRACTICES ARE DISCUSSED. THE REQUIREMENTS DISCUSSED INCLUDE: VISIBILITY BY DAY IN DIFFUSE LIGHTING (I. E., SUFFICIENT WHITENESS), ADEQUATE NIGHT REFLECTION VALUE, COLOR STABILITY, DURABILITY, ANTISKID PROPERTIES, HEAT RESISTANCE UP TO 200 C., IMPERVIOUSNESS TO AIRCRAFT FUELS AND LUBRICANTS, GOOD ADHESION, AND PROMPT APPLICABILITY ASSURING NONINTERFERENCE WITH FLIGHT OPERATIONS AT AIRPORTS OF HIGH TRAFFIC DENSITY. SOME OF THE TECHNIQUES USED FOR MEETING THESE REQUIREMENTS ARE BRIEFLY REVIEWED. /IAA/
