Why is the Annual Percent of Runway and Parallel Taxiway Pavement in Poor Condition at all Paved Airports

X

Maintaining good runway and taxiway pavement condition reduces the potential for damage to aircraft and also can minimize costs over the course of the pavement's usable life. Loose pavement can become dislodged during aircraft operations and taken into jet aircraft engines causing considerable damage. Pavement condition is monitored on a zero to 100 rating scale known as a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) with a score of zero indicating a runway or taxiway has the worst possible pavement and a score of 100 indicating the best possible pavement.
