The runway might not have done to standard, lack of daily and weekly testing and inspection or faulty inspection asphalt tester or testing were not done to standard. Who inspect these jobs? Most inspection is done not visually but by piercing indicators to test the depth of the asphalt material used. There are two main tests to be done on runways and these are Friction test and light test. Each time a plane lands each tire deposit about 1 1\2 lbs of rubber on the runway. This deposit if not remove by maintenance personnel during daily inspection could be the cause of the problem experienced at the Sangster Airport. I am aware of the cutting of corners by our Jamaican contractor especially on our roads but hope it doesn't extend itself to our airports runways. these rubbers can will contribute to poor runway lighting and should be on the maintenance schedule. The runway should be inspected twice a day for bolts, plastic or any other debris which could caused damaged to planes. A bold , nut or any solid objects could enter and damage the rotor blade of the plane. Remember the rotor blades spins at approx. 150 Rev. Per .second. The Federal Aviation Administration of America recommends that rubber deposition be checked weekly for any airport with at least 210 daily landing. I wonder how often we do the deposition rubber checks on our Jamaican runways.
I crazy how Jamaicans home and abroad are quick to throw mud at our country professionals at the airport😢. Do a little google about potholes on runways and you will quickly realize that it’s a common occurrence, asphalt and concrete runways both experience damage from the battering they receive hence the vigilance doing multiple runway checks during the day across the world and if damage is found it’s attended to QUICKLY 🎉. Negligence would be if the issue was not detected and action taken and we have an accident then it’s a different story. Regarding cutting corners look to florida where the condominium collapsed due to water leaking for years damage steel holding parking garage and cutting corners in design .
@@ricardohotbrakes1458 If you read more carefully you would realized that I am not accusing Jamaican professionals but I know from experience that we Jamaicans cut corners. I don't believe we can afford for runways to developed potholes and this would mean that we are not doing adequate inspections. If a plane land and hit pothole it places the passengers at risk and even death. We could use drones to check and there are numerous other technology for testing. This is the 3rd time Jamaica had to shut down our airports and this is disgraceful. I hope that the International Civil Aviation Body has been taking not of the frequency. Please remember that runways are not like our normal roads where a vehicle can dodged potholes.
Hey man! Question for you. How do they repair that so quickly? Obviously they have to patch it and put something down. I would assume they'd switch to runway 25 for departures and arrivals. I'm writing this before I watch the video. Do we know how long it will take before that is usable again?
