ASTM Standardizes Aircraft Landing Calc Terms
The new standard will define 20 terms, some long in use, but others introduced to increase accuracy in landing condition reports.

The standards-setting organization ASTM International is releasing the first global standard for terminology used in aircraft landing distance calculation methods and assessment. ASTM’s vehicle-pavement system committee (E17) approved the standard, which will soon be published and encompasses 20 terms. Some of the terms have long been in use, but others were introduced to increase accuracy in landing condition reports, ASTM said.
