Are any airports in Alaska or Canada familiar with this product? I would really like to hear from someone that truly deals with temperatures that would test this or any other pavement patch product.

Let us know how it goes. Universal problem with everyone, universal budget problem with everyone as well.

Very good information here guys. Train, train, train, and re-train. Complacency kills.

Both entities should be applicable to sustaining safety regulations. Identify each role they play at your airport and continue to train your personnel in both areas. There is a great deal of information out there that can assist you in remaining compliant. Use it.

I hear this newer product does a fantastic job in all-weather situations. Dry’s extremely fast and has weight bearing capabilities much quicker than asphalt and concrete, because of cure time. Pretty damn important in high traffic areas such as airport ramps.

Does the FAA require an airport to update the AEP and the ACM annually?

This is really good information. I followed up with a look at the AC 150/5200-18c and have “book marked” it. Do you know what determines if an airport must use an airport emergency plan? Size?

Make sure you thoroughly clean out hole leaving it free of moisture. If you are milling out a section, you should have no less than 3 inches in depth. Small patches can be tampered down or even ran over with a vehicle tire but larger patches need a roller. Do the edges first and work your way to the middle.

I purchased a DSR Pro-Series about 4 years ago and it has been extremely dependable. Cold starts and jumping dead batteries have not been an issue.

Are you from the snow belt or sunbelt? Do you work at an airport? If so, sand build-up from winter friction applications can become a clean-up problem in those areas around lights. Grass clippings from mowing around lights creates the same challenges—it all has to be removed by someone or something.

Where you from Vito? What type of asphalt patching material do use or recommend? What type of sealer? What is the “life expectancy” and weight bearing capacities for asphalt? Do you know of any asphalt professional companies during runway pavement work at airports in your area?

This is a MIOSHA (OSHA) thing. It is also a safety thing when it comes to locations that may have open flame and or welding nearby. It is just a good practice regardless of regulations.

When does the FAA post season analysis begin? How much input do pilots have?
