Runway profiles and aircraft vertical acceleration responses were analyzed to develop an evaluation methodology for runway roughness and to develop roughness standards against which runways can be evaluated. Root mean square values of filtered profile data and vertical aircraft accelerations were statistically developed on a segmental basis into runway roughness standards. A methodology was developed to evaluate runway profiles against these standards; and to recommend corrective construction of the profile to reduce aircraft response. Profile roughness has therefore been based on a numerically relative basis. The establishment of runway roughness standards and evaluation methodology is considered incomplete, and additional work is recommended in this report. (Author)
