CROW Literature Survey on PCN

The Dutch CROW has performed a State-of-the-Art study on PCN Runway Strength Rating and Load Control Systems. The objective of the survey was to clarify on ICAO’s ACN/PCN reporting system for civil airports, and to investigate PCN assessment methods currently utilised by member states. The study did lead to a number of recommendations which can result in a standard method for PCN assessment based on technical evaluation for usage within the Netherlands and/or for NATO practice. The technical report 04-09 can be downloaded from the CROW website.
