Pavement Strength

Pavement Strength Analysis

Know instantly whether your aircraft can safely operate on a given pavement. ACR/PCR & ACN/PCN — one tool, one answer.

Why pavement analysis matters

Why it's hard today

Pavement strength data is coded, technical, and not directly usable without expertise.

  • PCR and legacy PCN codes require interpretation and cross-checking
  • Manual cross-checking is time-consuming and error-prone
  • ACR data is not readily available without expert knowledge
  • No fast way to validate aircraft compatibility on arrival

What AeroKitPro delivers

Instant, reliable pavement strength assessment — in seconds.

  • Compute ACR/PCR and ACN/PCN compatibility instantly
  • 250+ aircraft with verified ACR data
  • ICAO Annex 14 compliant ACR generation
  • Support for ICAO overweight operations assessments
  • Generate and share detailed computation reports

Everything for pavement analysis

Both modern and legacy pavement classification systems in one tool

250+ Aircraft

Comprehensive database — Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, and more

ICAO Overload Allowance

ACR/PCR: 10% overload. Legacy ACN/PCN: 10% flexible / 5% rigid pavement

Build Valid PCR/PCN Codes — Instantly

Creating valid PCR/PCN codes manually is slow and error-prone — especially under operational pressure.

The Composer is a purpose-built input system that only allows valid entries at each step — ensuring correct codes in seconds.

  • Context-aware input — only valid options available
  • Supports both PCR and legacy PCN formats
  • Prevents input errors before they occur

ACN/PCN Calculation Report

Full ACN/PCN support

Many airports still report pavement strength using the legacy PCN system. AeroKitPro handles both — switch between ACR/PCR and ACN/PCN with a single tap.

  • All pavement types (Rigid & Flexible)
  • Subgrade categories A through D
  • ICAO overload allowance (10% / 5%)
  • Exportable calculation reports
