EFECTIVE MAINTANANCE OPTIONS OF ASPHALT CONCRETE AERODROME OPERATING AREA

Abstract

Air safety is closely related to the topic of maintenance and repair of airport operational areas. Proper maintenance of airport operational areas is not just an occasional mowing of grass on lawns and snow and ice removal in the winter. Runway is the most fundamental element of the airport and without it, it could not work. It is therefore necessary to effectively carry out maintenance of paved surfaces at the airport and to the actual construction, to repair joints and potholes. Infrared heating with its rapid application and use of recycled material from the repaired road is suitable to ensure smooth air traffic and reduction of the often high financial charges for the airport. The article outlines why the aviation safety is so important, how it can be significantly influenced and how security relates to the maintenance at the airport. I analyzed the main legislation that provides security at the airport, and which must be implemented on each airport.
