This technical webinar on pavement distresses will provide a comprehensive overview of various types of distresses that affect pavements, including cracking, rutting, and fatigue. With a focus on airfield pavements, industry experts will discuss common causes of these distresses, including weathering, repetitive loading, improper design, construction errors, and lack of maintenance. The webinar will also delve into the various methods used for identifying these distresses - visual inspections, pavement testing, and non-destructive testing methods. Participants will also learn how to categorize pavement distresses according to their severity and extent.

The second part of the webinar will review the analysis and resolution of pavement distresses. Participants will learn how to determine the root cause of pavement distresses and select the most appropriate repair methods. Presenters will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of different repair techniques such as patching, crack sealing, and overlaying. Attendees will learn when temporary repairs and full replacement is appropriate. The webinar will also cover the importance of maintenance activities in preventing pavement distresses and increasing pavement longevity. 

Participants will walk away with a wealth of knowledge and practical tips on how to identify, analyze, and resolve pavement distresses, thereby helping them to optimize pavement performance and reduce lifecycle costs. This webinar is intended to be introductory.

Airport water management is different from airport drainage which is also different from water management and drainage requirements on other project types. An airport master drainage plan can help assure that the drainage system does not constrain future airport development that is reasonably expected and identify elements in the master plan that may be significantly impacted by drainage or water management requirements. It can provide design criteria for individual airport projects and provide for more effective permitting activities with jurisdictional regulatory bodies. This webinar starts with a case study of a master drainage plan for one of the fastest growing commercial service airports in the United States. Regulatory discussions focus on Florida regulations that include both water quality and quantity, but the general principles will be applicable in any jurisdictional setting where water quantity and/or water quality is regulated. Panelists will identify key differences between airports and other developments that can be used to resolve regulatory conflicts as well as an overview of the tools and resources available for airport water quality and quantity planning, design, and permitting.

This ACC webinar will provide attendees with an overview of the basic concepts and principles of airport layout plans (ALPs), summarizing why airports complete them, how to complete them, and how they are reviewed, justified, and used as a planning tool. Presenters will cover the key components of an ALP to include runways, taxiways, aprons, and terminals, and the different types of ALPs. Discussed during the webinar will be the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and Advisory Circulars (AC) that govern the development of an ALP, and an overview of the content of a typical ALP. Industry experts will review how ALP’s at different size airports can vary, provide an understanding of the role of surveys and AGIS, and present industry ALP case studies. Whether you are a student or an emerging or experienced professional in the aviation industry, this webinar will provide you with a solid foundation of airport layout plans.

Register today for ACC's Runway Incursion Mitigation and Airfield Geometry Design Virtual Workshop on June 8, 2023 from 10:30 a.m. - 5:30 p.m. EST. Breaks are provided throughout the day for the convenience of attendees to catch up on emails, grab lunch, and return calls.

The comprehensive workshop will cover the FAA’s Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) program and how it relates to airfield geometry. Participants will receive an overview of the RIM program, from how it started, the progress that has been made, and where it’s going through 2030 and beyond. This workshop will present real life examples of comprehensive taxiway studies completed through the lens of the RIM program. Participants will receive a deep dive into airfield geometry including taxiway and taxilane standards. Instructors will also discuss safety and object free areas to better understand the implementation of common geometry changes associated with incursion mitigation. Lastly, participants will participate in breakout sessions to review a historical airfield for runway incursion hot spots and geometry concerns in order to discuss potential short- and long-term mitigating measures.  

The workshop includes four 75-minute virtual sessions:
• Overview of the FAA’s Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) Program
• Introduction to Comprehensive Taxiway Studies 
• Planning and Developing Airfield Geometry
• Airport Case Study: Identifying RIM Locations (Small Group Breakouts)

Workshop Learning Objectives

At the end of this ACC workshop, participants will be able to:
• Recount the history of the FAA Runway Incursion Mitigation (RIM) program.
• Discuss options for runway incursion mitigation as laid out in the RIM program.
• Identify airfield hot-spots and other geometry factors contributing to runway incursions.
• Develop and compare alternatives for mitigating runway incursions.
• Design taxiway/taxilane geometry and safety areas per current applicable standards.

The FAA has required Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting services to provide Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) firefighting capabilities at Part 139 airports. This program will familiarize airport professionals with environmental concerns and regulatory developments related to AFFF. The purpose will be to arm airport professionals with information that will help them to plan for: complying with current and anticipated regulations, transitioning to fluorine free foam (FFF), and addressing legacy AFFF contamination. We will review the history and evolution of AFFF use and the rise of environmental concerns. We will discuss on-going efforts to develop acceptable fire suppression alternatives and the anticipated timeline for transition FFF that meets performance standards. We will provide examples of how, when, and where challenges concerning AFFF may be encountered at airports, and will summarize relevant current and anticipated federal and state regulations. We will discuss strategies for managing AFFF challenges, and for performing remediation when necessary. Brief case studies will be presented to illustrate some of these strategies. Most importantly we will provide our perspective, as environmental compliance and remediation professionals, on the current and upcoming challenges posed to Airports by AFFF, and highlight resources that are available to help manage these challenges

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this Lunch & Learn webinar, participants will be able to:
• Describe the basics of AFFF concerns and related regulations
• Recognize airport areas, programs, and projects where AFFF challenges may arise
• Assess strategies that can be used to manage AFFF compliance and identify alternatives to AFFF, namely FFF
• Understand the challenges involving treatment and remediation
