НОРМАТИВНЕ ЗАБЕЗПЕЧЕННЯ ЩОДО РІВНОСТІ АЕРОДРОМНИХ ПОКРИТТІВ В УКРАЇНІ

Abstract

Ukraine has a developed network of airports and is a world-famous country for transport and passenger aircraft construction. Currently, the State Target Program for Airport Development until 2023 continues to be implemented. The Program carries out modernization of air transport infrastructure, certification of airports taking into account the legislation of the European Union, Eurocontrol documents, Standards and recommendations of the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO. One of the most important elements of the airport's infrastructure is its coverage, designed for takeoff and landing of aircraft - the runway, taxiing - taxiways and aircraft parking lots. The safe transportation of passengers and cargo largely depends on their condition, and especially on the condition of the runway coverage. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly monitor the condition of aerodrome surfaces. It is necessary to know the requirements for the qualitative and quantitative characteristics of airfield surface defects to choose one or another method of geodetic monitoring. The latest open access publications, which are devoted to the regulatory requirements for the equality of aerodrome surfaces, which were applied to the introduction of the current regulatory document were considered. The search for regulatory documents on the equality of aerodrome coverage led to the current certification requirements for aerodromes of Ukraine, dated 22.09.2020. The main purpose of this article is to analyze the current regulations of Ukraine and ICAO on the characteristics of the equality of aerodrome coverage. The current order of the State Aviation Service of Ukraine №1346 dated 22.09.2020 on certification requirements for civil aviation aerodromes in relation to aerodrome surfaces is considered. The part of the document on coating defects sets quantitative requirements for these defects for the runway, taxiways, aircraft parking areas, platforms, sidewalks, the ground part of the airfield. These requirements overlap with similar requirements of the previous regulatory document. The technology for determining meso-irregularities of the soil field using a level instrument is presented. The other part of this document discusses the quantitative requirements for the equality of the hard surface of the runway in accordance with the requirements of ICAO. As a result of the analysis of the current normative document on aerodrome certification in terms of aerodrome coverage requirements, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of defects are grouped in tabular form: artificial and soil runways, taxiways, parking lots and airport platforms. There is a discrepancy between the allowable value of the excess between the faces of adjacent slabs of the runway pavement, which is 25 mm and 17.5 mm, specified in the part of the document that meets the ICAO requirements for the equality of aerodrome surfaces. The article is a publication of scientific and methodical character.
