Abstract

The increasing activity of aircraft movement from year to year has a significant impact on the condition of the runway pavement. Managing airport pavement infrastructure will enhance air traffic safety and reduce the problem likelihood of future airport pavement renovation costs. Therefore, the evaluation of the Flexible Pavement condition in the runway area becomes a crucial step. The goal is to measure and assess the level of wear, damage, and overall pavement performance. The research objective of this study to evaluate the pavement condition of Runway 12/30 at Budiarto Airport using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method. The research method or approach involved visual surveys and quantitative analysis to identify types and levels of pavement surface distress. Data were collected on various types of distress such as cracking, depression, raveling, and others that affect the integrity and operational safety of the runway. After data collection, PCI values were computed by considering the severity and extent of distress in each sample unit along the runway. The finding of the research revealed that the average PCI value for all samples on Runway 12/30 was 98.44, indicating an overall good condition. However, there were some samples showing "fair" PCI values, highlighting specific areas needing additional attention for maintenance and repair. Based on these findings, the technicians and airport management at Budiarto Airport have shown proficiency in maintaining the runway and have implemented suitable maintenance strategies to extend its service life and ensure operational safety. Therefore, this PCI-based assessment of pavement condition provides valuable insights necessary for airport management to make informed decisions regarding maintenance priorities and infrastructure sustainability
