TODAY, MODERN AIRCRAFT AND HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED ELECTRONICS IN COCKPITS AND CONTROL STATIONS MAKE TAKING OFF AND LANDING POSSIBLE IN NEARLY ALL KINDS OF WEATHER.  CRITICAL TO LANDING AND TAKEOFF SAFETY IS THE TRACTION OF THE LANDING GEAR TIRES ON THE RUNWAY SURFACE.  IN THE CONTINUING EFFORT REQUIRED TO KEEP UP WITH THE EVER-INCREASING DEMANDS OF AIR TRAVEL, ALL OF THE TECHNICAL AND OPERATIONAL POSSIBLITIES MUST BE CLOSELY EXAMINED FOR POTENTIAL MEANS OF INCREASING CAPACITY.THE HIGH-FRICTION PROPERTIES OF POSSEHL ANTISKID® SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE RUNWAY OCCUPATION TIME WHILE INCREASING SAFETY AND CAPACITY AND, THEREBY, PROFITABILITY.

POSSEHL ANTISKID®, A THIN HIGH-FRICTION SURFACE, IS LAID IN ACCORDANCE WITH ICAO “AERODROME DESIGN MANUAL - PART 3” GUIDELINES AND THE “ADVISORY CIRCULAR” REQUIREMENTS ISSUED BY THE US FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SKID RESISTANT RUNWAY SURFACES. THE ANTISKID® SURFACE FULFILS THE DESIGN OBJECTIVE COEFFICIENT STIPULATED IN ICAO, ANNEX 14, AS WELL AS THE PERFORMANCE DEFINITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN AVIATION SAFETY AGENCY’S JAR-OPS1 FOR SKID RESISTANCE ON DRY AND WET RUNWAYS.  THE BALANCED MICRO AND MACRO TEXTURE OF POSSEHL ANTISKID® SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCES THE DANGER OF HYDROPLANING WHILE INCREASING DIRECTIONAL STABILITY IN THE PRESENCE OF CROSSWINDS. SURFACE WATER CAN FLOW OFF THROUGH THE SPACES BETWEEN THE TIRE CONTACT SURFACE AND THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF THE COARSE MINERAL AGGREGATES.

THE FRICTION IS NOT IMPAIRED BY SLIPPERY WEATHER CONDITIONS, SUCH AS SLUSH, HOARFROST, ICE-FLIM OR SURFACES WETTED WITH DE-ICING AGENTS, LONGER DISTANCES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BRAKE THE AIRCRAFT AND THE ADVANCED SURFACING IS SO EFFECTIVE THAT THE ANTI-SKID BRAKING SYSTEM OF THE AIRCRAFT DOES NOT ACTIVATE.  THANKS TO ITS EXCELLENT FRICTIONAL PROPERTIES, POSSEHL ANTISKID® ALSO MINIMIZES THE SECTION OF RUBBER RESIDUE BUILD-UP FROM TIRES ON THE TOUCH-DOWN ZONE BY 40 %. THE UNIQUE TEXTURE OF THE SURFACING PROVIDES MANY OTHER IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES FOR AIR TRAVEL.

AT AT TAKEOFFTAKEOFF

POSSEHL ANTISKID® MINIMIZES THE ROLLING RESISTANCE AND LOSS OF TRACTION DURING ACCELERATION ON WET RUNWAYS, WHILE VASTLY IMPROVING DIRECTIONAL STABILITY, IN PARTICULAR, IN CROSSWINDS. FOR EXAMPLE, POSSEHL ANTISKID GUARANTEES CONSTANT DIRECTIONAL STABILITY IN THE EVENT OF A REJECTED TAKEOFF (RTO) BEFORE V1 HAS

BEEN REACHED.

AAT T TAKEOFF TAKEOFF AND AND LANDINGLANDING EVEN WHEN THE RUNWAY IS DAMP OR WET, THE 15% INCREASE IN THE LANDING DISTANCE REQUIRED (LDR) AS STIPULATED IN THE JAR-OPS1-DEFINITION (EASA) IS UNNECESSARY. BECAUSE THE DYNAMIC HYDROPLANING IS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, SAFETY IS VASTLY IMPROVED DURING TAKEOFF AND LANDING.  RUNWAY SURFACES ARE SUBJECT TO CONTINUOUS IMPACTS AND STRESS DUE TO TAKEOFFS AND LANDINGS AS WELL AS TAXIING TRAFFIC, WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE EFFECTS OF FUEL, HOT ENGINE BLASTS, EXHAUST, DE-ICING AGENTS AND OTHER WINTER MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES. THESE INFLUENCES LEAD TO THE DEGRADATION OF THE ASPHALT BASE COURSE AND LOOSENING OF THE MINERAL AGGREGATE. THE NEXT STEP IN THE DEGRADATION PROCESS, A DREADED ONE, IS THE PRESENCE OF FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS (FOD) ON THE RUNWAY, WHICH CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINES AND AIRFRAMES OF AIRCRAFT. AT THIS POINT SURFACE RENEWAL HAS BECOME INEVITABLE.

UTILIZING HIGH QUALITY MATERIALS, POSSEHL ANTIKSID® PROVIDES RELIABLE AND LASTING RUNWAY SURFACE PROTECTIONA AGAINST THESE DETERIORATING INFLUENCES, IMPROVES BRAKING, AND FURTHERMORE, OPTIMALLY PRESERVES THE SUBBASE OF AIR TRAFFIC SURFACES. THE STUDY GROUP “AIRPORT AND GROUND ENVIRONMENT (AGE)” OF THE GERMAN AIRLINE PILOT ASSOCIATION (VC) STATES THAT NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE LIFE SPAN OF AIRCRAFT TIRES DUE TO THE SUPERIOR RUNWAY FRICTION PROPERTIES ARE NOT TO BE EXPECTED.  POSSEHL ANTISKID® ACCOMMODATES WINTER MAINTENANCE PARTICULARLY WELL, AS THE SURFACE TEXTURE DELAYS THE ICING PROCESS AND FACILITATES ICE-FREE CONDITIONS. IN FACT, THE USE OF DE-ICING AGENTS IS CUT DOWN BY UP TO 85 %, THEREBY PROVIDING SAVINGS AND VALUABLE PROTECTION TO THE ENVIRONMENT.

POSSEHL ANTISKID® IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND ECONOMICAL SURFACING SYSTEM AVAILABLE FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF SKID RESISTANCE AND SURFACE PROTECTION. MORE THAN THIRTY MILLION SQUARE METERS HAVE BEEN APPLIED AT OVER 130 AIRPORTS IN THE LAST FIFTY YEARS. THANKS TO OUR UNIQUE METHOD OF APPLICATION, TECHNOLOGICAL KNOW HOW AND MODERN MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT, WE CAN PUT DOWN BETWEEN 25,000 AND 30,000 SQUARE METERS PER DAY AND 5,000 TO 20,000 SQUARE METERS PER NIGHT, LIMITING AIRPORT AIR TRAFFIC ONLY MINIMALLY, IF AT ALL.  DUE TO POSSEHL ANTISKID®’S MINIMUM THICKNESS OF MERELY 4 mm, THE RAISING OF EXISTING RUNWAY LIGHTING (AT A TOP EDGE INSTALLATION HEIGHT OF 0 mm), GUTTERS, HIGH-SPEED EXITS AND RUNWAY SHOULDERS IS UNNECESSARY. THE SYSTEM’S FUNCTIONAL ATTRIBUTES AND PROTECTION OF THE SUBSTRATE HAVE PROVEN TO LAST FOR OVER TWELVE YEARS WITHOUT NOTICEABLE DEGRADATION.

IN MANY CASES TESTS HAVE SHOWN THAT EVEN AFTER TWELVE YEARS OF OPERATION THE FRICTION COEFFICIENT OF HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ANTISKID® SURFACES WAS STILL ABOVE THE MAINTENANCE PLANNING LEVEL AS SPECIFIED IN ICAO, ANNEX 14. POSSEHL ANTISKID® HAS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED ITS RELIABILITY ESTABLISHING A PROVEN NAME FOR ITSELF IN THE OVER FIFTY YEARS IT HAS BEEN IN USE.  AIRPORTS OF VARIOUS SIZES AND VOLUMES HAVE BEEN CHOSEN POSSEHL ANTISKID® THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, INCLUDING AMSTERDAM, ATHENS, BRUSSELS, MADRID, PRAGUE, BERLIN-TEGEL, BERLIN-SCHÖNEFELD, DORTMUND, EINDHOVEN, ERFURT, FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, ROTTERDAM, LJUBLJANA, SARAJEVO, MAASTRICHT, SAABRÜCKEN AND EGELSBACH TO NAME JUST A JEW OF THE CIVIL AIRPORTS THAT BENEFIT FROM THE ADVANTAGES OF THE POSSEHL ANTISKID® SURFACE.
