Zusammenfassung:The investigation reported herein was conducted to evaluate the performance of Alcoa Lightweight Brazed AM5 landing mat. Fabrication included a new process called 'flip-flop brazing' by the manufacturer. A test section, consisting of a heavy clay subgrade, was constructed and surfaced with the Alcoa AM5 landing mat. The test section was subjected to traffic representing 1600 operational cycles (188 coverages) of an aircraft having a 60,000-lb gross weight with a single-wheel main gear assembly load of 27,000 lb and a 30x7.7 tire inflated to 400 psi, which represented the minimum service life requirement.
