Runway Friction Measuring Equipment

Are you aware of the changes detailed within the new FAA AC 150/5200-30C regarding Airport Winter Safety and Operations?

Good, Medium, Poor or Nil - Are You In Compliance? Since 1990, airlines and corporate carriers have experienced over 140 aircraft overrun accidents directly related to “Poor” runway braking action. Interpreting accurate, repeatable runway surface condition information is absolutely essential to the safety of the world’s airports.

NAC manufactures two of the most advanced friction measurement devices. The NAC Dynamic Friction Tester (DFT- CFME) meets all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and ICAO performance specifications for runway pavement maintenance friction surveys. Both the NAC DFT-CFME and the new NAC Dynamic Friction Decelerometer (DFD- DEC) fully meet the FAA’s performance specifications for use in winter and summer pavement friction surface assessments. This technology enables accurate, repeatable information and ultimately results in safer runways. These two devices have been proven to offer the most technologically accurate, repeatable data reporting by industry experts.

Dynamic Friction Tester (US Patent 7,117,716,B2) - NAC DFT CFME

The Dynamic Friction Tester™ is an all-inclusive CFME device designed to measure coefficient of friction (Mu) and is equipped with ground and ambient temperature sensors. Complies with FAA/ICAO/CAA CAP683 performance specifications

Electronic Dynamic Friction Decelerometer  (Patent Pending) - NAC DFD DEC

The NAC DFD DEC is a Runway Decelerometer which allows users to perform braking action reports more easily and with greater accuracy than traditional decelerometer devices. Complies with FAA/ICAO/CAA performance specifications.
