Runway friction measurement were made on ten civil airports representative of large and medium hub airports. Wet and dry surface data were obtained with a Mu-Meter and FAA Diagonal Braked Vehicle. Pavements were wetted with sprinkler trucks. Wate depth and friction data were time correlated. DBV data were normalized to 60 MPH and corrected for ambient temperature per NASA methods. Specialized supplementary equipment used and techniques and procedures developed to conduct the tests are described. Raw and processed data for each airport are tabulated in separate appendixes. Included are runway and airport traffic statistics and photographs of the pavements tested. A summary table of friction data is shown to facilitate review and analysis of information.

Fire detectors in service have detected burner-can failures, but also some have gone undetected and often undiscovered until routine ground inspection. A burn-through impinging on a vital aircraft structure could endanger the entire aircraft if an early detection is not obtained.
