This paper briefly summarizes available statistical data on airplane taxi operations, examines the profiles and power spectra of four selected runways and taxiways covering a wide range of surface roughness, considers (on the basis of theoretical and experimental results) the loads resulting from taxiing on such runways over a range of speeds and, by synthesis of the aforementioned results, proposes new criteria for runway and taxiway smoothness which are applicable to new construction and may also be used as a guide for determining when repairs are necessary.
