FAA establishing Standards Committees to recommend standards for emerging technologies
Today, AST’s subject matter experts are actively helping to develop new standards for landing friction reporting and mobile sensors of airport surface contamination. AST is working proactively with standards bodies to help develop relevant standards on surface management. These new standards will help guide airports and airlines in meeting the FAA’s new Runway Code Conditions (RwyCC) mandates. Today SafeCenter supplements existing practices and technology
- American Standards for Testing and Materials (ASTM)
- AST’s Dr. Zoltan Rado is Chairperson of this international organization, which has formed the ASTM E17 Subcommittee to develop a standard for the practice of measuring winter contaminants on runways and roads
- FAA ATRD 15
- AST’s Dr. Zoltan Rado is a member of this FAA committee that provides oversight and recommendations for friction related technologies and procedures to be used by Airports and Airlines
- Society of Aircraft Performance Operations Engineers (SAPOE)
- AST’s Brian Chapman is a Founding Member of this committee which is developing recommendations for FAA consideration on standards related to airports and airlines using data from aircraft to measure and communicate TAPLA correlated Friction Reports
