Evaluation Of Skid Resistance Testing and Maintenance for Runway 06/24 At Soekarno-Hatta International Airport

The aviation industry is one of the most highly regulated sectors which requiring strict facility maintenance to ensure aircraft operations and passengers. Essential airport facility that requires preventive maintenance is the runway, particularly through skid resistance test. This is in line with KP 94 of 2015, which mandates skid resistance test of runway surfaces to ensure meet the minimum standards. This study aims to analyze and evaluate the technical aspects and results of skid resistance test on Runway 06/24 at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in March 2024 and compare these results with the results in February 2024. This research also analyzes factors that have the potential to influence the results of skid resistance level while providing recommendations regarding the skid resistance maintenance program for Runway 06/24. The research findings indicate that the skid resistance level on Runway 06/24 in March 2024 was 0.60 which meet the minimum standard, but showing a slight decrease of 0.01 compared to the skid resistance level of 0.61 in February 2024. The analysis results show that there are several potential factors affecting skid resistance test results, including the frequency and dimension of rubber deposit removal, the frequency of aircraft landings, and local weather conditions at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport.
