The results of friction tests and condition surveys on the active runways at the National Parachute Test Range, El Centro, California are presented. The survey established statistically-based condition numbers (weighted defect densities) which were direct indicators of the condition of the individual pavement facilities. The runway friction measurements showed the aircraft hydroplaning/skidding potential of the field. The results of the survey showed that in June 1976 the asphaltic concrete of Runways 8L-26R and 8R-26L had deteriorated since the 1969 condition survey.
