ACN/PCN method
• Aim:Considering a runway with a given bearing strength, can a
given aircraft with a given load operate on this runway without damaging the pavement ?
• Numerous methods developed:44 methods in USA in the 80’s
• 1982: ACN/PCN method developed by ICAO
• Former official ICAO method: LCN (Load Classification Number) still sometimes used.

ACN/PCN method
PCN 58 R / B / W / TExample :
The bearing capacity of a rigid pavement rigid pavement restingon a foundation of medium strength has given,by technical assessment, a PCN = 58.There is no tire pressure restriction.

• The ACN expresses the relative effect of an aircraft on a pavement for a specified standard subgrade
• ACN depends on aircraft parameters and runway parameters:
Aircraft parameters: weight, C.G. position,landing gear geometry (twin gear or
bogie), tire pressure
Runway parameters: pavement type, subgrade category

ACN/PCN method
• Unrestricted operation if ACN is less or equal to PCN
• Overload operation is possible depending on country and airport policy.
ICAO rule for overload operations:– 10% PCN margin for flexible pavements– 5% PCN margin for rigid pavements– Annual number of overload movements less than 5% of total
annual movements

ACN/PCN PEP module
• With the increasing number of Airbus aircraft and Airbus operators, more and more destinations have low strength runways.
• Runway loading aspects start playing an important role in landing fee determination.
• ACN determination with the curves presently published may be fastidious and lead to errors.

ACN/PCN PEP module
• Compute ACN and LCN for every pavement type for given aircraft data
• Compute maximum aircraft weight for a given runway
• Possibility to introduce the PCN value of each runway in the airport database managed by the airport manager is being studied
• Provide a graphical output: ACN function of aircraft C.G. for a given pavement type
