Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL) has consistently ranked as one of the world’s busiest airports for nearly three decades, with roughly 900,000 aircraft operations moving over 100 million passengers annually. Runway 9R/27L is one of two runways in ATL’s five-parallel runway network, which is used primarily for arrivals and is the most heavily utilized for this purpose. This paper explores the present serviceability of the runway pavement by measuring and analyzing current friction properties, groove quality, and surface distress converted to pavement condition index values for the entire width and length of the runway. Results are compared with requirements set forth in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5320-12C and 150/5320-12D (draft version in circulation since 2016).
