Record 3 2015-06-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Airport Runways and Areas
CONT

The reporting of surface conditions on a gravel runway is more difficult than it is for a paved runway. In the case of gravel runways, it is impossible to remove all the winter contaminants from the gravel surface. In many northern sites, the common practice is to prepare a solid snow-compacted base on top of the gravel whereby the compacted snow becomes the operational surface for winter operations.

CONT

The gravel runway is also used to train aircraft crew in landing on unprepared landing strips.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Pistes et aires d'aéroport
CONT

Faire des comptes rendus de la surface d'une piste en gravier est plus difficile que pour une piste en dur. Dans le cas des pistes en gravier, il est impossible d'enlever tous les contaminants de la surface en gravier. À de nombreux endroits dans le nord, une façon courante de faire consiste à préparer une base solide de neige durcie recouvrant le gravier de manière à ce que la neige durcie devienne la surface véritablement utilisée pendant les opérations hivernales.

CONT

La piste non bétonnée est également utilisée pour former les membres d'équipage d'aéronef à atterrir sur des pistes d'atterrissage non bétonnées.
