Basic soil trafficability concepts and soil properties are described, together with standard engineering methods for determining trafficability, including the manual cone penetrometer. The aerial penetrometer for trafficability determination from aircraft is described in detail, with procedures for use, limitations and safety factors given. Information on soil strength requirements for various combinations of aircraft loads and tire pressures is given, with conversion factors for aerial penetrometer use of standard vehicle mobility engineering data. Other applications of the aerial penetrometer for investigation of trafficability of snow and ice covered surfaces are outlined. (Author)
