Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2148
(a) The aerodrome operator shall inspect the surfaces of all movement areas including pavements (runways, taxiways and aprons), adjacent areas and drainage to regularly assess their condition as part of an aerodrome preventive and corrective maintenance programme.
(b) The aerodrome operator shall:
(1) maintain the surfaces of all movement areas with the objective of avoiding and eliminating any FOD that might cause damage to aircraft or impair the operation of aircraft systems;
(2) maintain the surface of runways, taxiways and aprons in order to prevent the formation of harmful irregularities;
(3) maintain the runway in a condition so as to provide surface friction characteristics at or above the minimum standards;
(4) periodically inspect and document the runway surface friction characteristics for maintenance purposes. The frequency of those inspections shall be sufficient to determine the trend of the surface friction characteristics of the runway;
(5) take corrective maintenance action to prevent the runway surface friction characteristics for either the entire runway or a portion thereof, when uncontaminated, from falling below the minimum standards.
