List of attributes

Name Data Type Definition  
composition CodeSurfaceCompositionType The type of the predominant material of which a surface of the movement area is composed.  
preparation CodeSurfacePreparationType The preparation technique(s) applied to a surface composition.  
surfaceCondition CodeSurfaceConditionType The quality of the surface of an airport surface.  
classPCN ValPCNType The bearing strength of a pavement for unrestricted operations.  
pavementTypePCN CodePCNPavementType The pavement behaviour (rigid or flexible) used for determining the Pavement Classification Number (PCN).  
pavementSubgradePCN CodePCNSubgradeType An indication of the pavement subgrade strength related to the Pavement Classification Number (PCN).
