Studies of NASA research related to aircraft operating problems on rough runways are presented; investigations conducted with airport operators, Federal Aviation Agency, and U S Air Force show that criteria based on power spectral levels of runway-profile data are not sufficient to define acceptable levels of runway roughness from piloting viewpoint; criterion for roughness should be expressed in terms of aircraft response, preferably, cockpit acceleration; criterion suggested is that maximum vertical acceleration in cockpit should not exceed plus or minus 0.4 g for sections of runway where precise aircraft control is required.
