ATTACHMENT E PAVEMENT MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM An effective pavement maintenance management program is one that details the procedures to be followed to assure that proper pavement maintenance, both preventative and repair, is performed. An airport sponsor may use any form of inspection program it deems appropriate. The program must, as a minimum, include the following: 1. Pavement Inventory. The following must be depicted in an appropriate form and level of details: a. location of all runways, taxiways, and aprons b. dimensions c. type of pavement d. year of construction or most recent rehabilitation For compliance with the Airport Improvement Program assurances, pavements that have been constructed, reconstructed, or repaired with Federal financial assistance shall be so depicted. 2. Inspection Schedule. a. Detailed Inspection. A detailed inspection must be performed at least once a year. If a history of recorded pavement deterioration is available, i.e. Pavement Condition Index (PCI) survey as set forth in Advisory Circular 150/5380-6, Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements, the frequency of inspections may be extended to three years. b. Drive -by Inspection. A drive -by inspection must be performed a minimum of once per month to detect unexpected changes in the pavement condition. 3. Record Keeping. Complete information on the findings of all detailed inspections and other maintenance performed must be recorded and kept on file for a minimum of five years. The types of distress, their locations, and remedial action, scheduled or performed, must be documented. The minimum information to be recorded is listed below. a. inspection date b. location c. distress types d. maintenance scheduled or performed For drive -by inspections, the date of inspection and any maintenance performed must be recorded. 4. Information Retrieval. An airport sponsor may use any form of record keeping it deems appropriate, so long as the information and records produced by the pavement survey can be retrieved to provide a report to the FAA as may be required. 5. Reference. Refer to Advisory Circular 150/5380-6, Guidelines and Procedures for Maintenance of Airport Pavements, for specific guidelines and procedures for maintaining airport pavements and establishing an effective maintenance program. Specific types of distress, their probable causes, inspection guideline, and recommended methods of repair are presented. 35 of 35
