17-437: At the moment, it has one asphalt and concrete runway, and other four unpaved runways. The pavement classification number is 37/R/B/X/T. In 2015, 29,518 passengers have gone through the airport, and in 2016 this number fell to 26,624 people. An old airport was located in 1 km (0.62 mi) from the train station of Zhezkazgan. It had two unpaved runways: 18/36 with the length of 1,800 m (5,900 ft) and 10/28 with

34-500: A fixed cycle. For operationally significant changes in information, the cycle known as the AIRAC (Aeronautical Information Regulation And Control) cycle , first introduced in 1964, is used: revisions are produced every 56 days (double AIRAC cycle) or every 28 days (single AIRAC cycle). These changes are received well in advance so that users of the aeronautical data can update their flight management systems ( FMS ). For insignificant changes,

Pavement classification number The Aircraft Classification Number (ACN) – Pavement Classification Number (PCN) method is a standardized international airport pavement rating system promulgated by the ICAO in 1981. The method has been

68-488: Is defined by the International Civil Aviation Organization as a publication issued by or with the authority of a state and containing aeronautical information of a lasting character essential to air navigation . It is designed to be a manual containing thorough details of regulations, procedures and other information pertinent to flying aircraft in the particular country to which it relates. It

85-495: Is usually issued by or on behalf of the respective civil aviation administration. The structure and contents of AIPs are standardized by international agreement through ICAO. AIPs normally have three parts – GEN (general), ENR (en route) and AD (aerodromes). The document contains many charts; most of these are in the AD section where details and charts of all public aerodromes are published. AIPs are kept up-to-date by regular revision on

102-518: The ACN exceeds the PCN, some restrictions (for example on weight of frequency of operation) may apply depending on the national or local regulations for overload operations. With the exception of massive overloading, pavements in their structural behaviour are not subject to particular limiting load above which they suddenly or catastrophically fail. As a result, minor or medium overload operations may be allowed by

119-492: The ACN is as such: The ACN are calculated for four standard subgrade strengths, for flexible and rigid pavements, thus leading to 8 different values. ACNs depend on the landing gear geometry (number of wheels and wheel spacing), the landing gear load (that is dependent upon the aircraft weight and center of gravity) and the tire pressure. Normally, the aftmost center of gravity for the Maximum Ramp Weight (MRW) lead to

136-462: The ACN, the ICAO does not prescribe a standardized calculation procedure for the PCN. Different PCN calculation procedures may therefore be found around the world. However, the ICAO defines a standardized reporting format for the PCN that comprises the PCN numerical value and a series of 4 letters. PCN may also be known as Load Classification Number or LCN. PCNs depend on both the pavement structure and

153-477: The aircraft traffic operated on the pavement. The PCNs are determined by airports for their runways, taxiways and aprons and published in the Aeronautical Information Publication (AIP).   An aircraft having an ACN (at a given weight) equal to or less than the PCN can operate without restriction on the pavement, provided that its tire pressure does not exceed the PCN limitation. If

170-458: The airport authority depending on the corresponding loss in pavement life expectancy. The ACN-PCN method underwent 2 major changes since its introduction in 1981: Despite these changes, the ACN-PCN method gradually became inconsistent with recent pavement design methods, mostly based on Linear Elastic Analysis (LEA) or Finite Element Method (FEM). The method is also failing to consider accurately

187-458: The airport has received a reconstruction of its terminal and the runway, as well as an upgrade of its equipment. This was made possible with the financial support from Kazakhmys Corporation , a copper mining company. In 2008, the airport was declared international after a decree from the government of Kazakhstan . This article about an Asian airport is a stub . You can help Misplaced Pages by expanding it .

204-447: The critical ACN. Aircraft manufacturers publish the ACNs of their aircraft in their respective Aircraft Characteristics manuals . The ICAO Aerodrome Design Manual contains the source code of computer programs for the calculation of ACNs. The FAA also developed COMFAA, a software enabling the calculation of ACNs for different aircraft depending on the input parameters.   Contrary to

221-557: The effect of modern landing gear configurations (with multi-wheels arrangements) and the improved characteristics of new-generation pavement materials. As a result, the ICAO triggered the development of a new pavement rating method aimed at overcoming these deficiencies. This new system, the ACR-PCR method, became effective in July 2020. Aeronautical Information Publication In aviation , an Aeronautical Information Publication (or AIP )

238-409: The length of 1,400 m (4,600 ft). Often, airport couldn't operate flights due to its runways getting wet because of rain or melting snow in the spring, what has led to canceling flights. New, currently operating airport with an asphalt-concrete runway was built in 1971–1973, and in 1985, a new terminal was built, which could serve up to 200 passengers per hour. The first flight, operated by

255-501: The new airport, was done by an Ilyushin Il-18 airplane. In the 1970s, Zhezkazgan United Air Squadron (Russian: Джезказганская объединённая авиаэскадрилья) was formed in the airport. In 1983 it started using L-410 planes in commercial purposes, and in 1995 it has got two Mi-8 helicopters. Zhezkazgan Air (Russian: "Жезказган Эйр") airline was formed in the airport in October 1996. In 2004,

272-617: The official ICAO pavement rating system for pavements intended for aircraft of apron (ramp) mass greater than 5700 kg from 1981 to 2020. The method is scheduled to be replaced by the ACR-PCR method by November 28, 2024. For the safe and efficient use of pavements, the method has been designed to: The method relies on the plain comparison of two numbers: The ACN calculation process is fully described in ICAO Doc 9157 Aerodrome Design Manual – Part 3 "Pavements" (2nd ed.). The procedure to calculate

289-627: The published calendar dates are used. In some countries the AIP is informally known as the Airman's Manual or the Air Pilot . EUROCONTROL has published a specification for an electronic AIP (eAIP). The eAIP Specification aims to harmonise the structure and presentation of AIPs for digital media. In this respect, a digital AIP is a digital version of the paper AIP, usually available in PDF format, while an electronic AIP
