EMAS | Engineered Materials Arresting System | special cement blocks made of aerated concrete (mineral concrete materials - as a replacement for the conventional surface in the runway exit zone), with which the ground at the end of the runway is paved, which crumbles under its weight when an aircraft overrun and brings it to a halt (e.g. John F. Kennedy Airport New York 1996 - the world's first operation; Teterboro Airport - New York - IATA: TEB - ICAO: KTEB) - commissioned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and jointly with the FAA developed; safely stopped an overshooting commuter plane with 27 people on board in 1999; In 2003 a cargo aircraft was successfully stopped and in 2006 another aircraft was brought to a safe stop; the effect is comparable to a car driving in ever deeper snow; the aerated concrete blocks have a height of 0 to 100 cm and can stop an airplane that is rolling up to 128 km / h (80 mph). By the end of October 2012, there were a total of 62 such systems worldwide. When an aircraft rolls over this area, its tires collapse in a controlled manner into the relatively soft material and the aircraft is brought to a standstill without major damage. The maximum distance to a standstill is 90 m. In this way, the overrun required according to the ICAO (with conventional solid runway surface) of 240 m can be significantly reduced. | |
