must maintain, and promptly repair
the pavement of, each runway, taxi-
way, loading ramp, and parking area
on the airport that is available for air
carrier use as follows:
(1) The pavement edges must not ex-
ceed 3 inches difference in elevation be-
tween abutting pavement sections and
between pavement and abutting areas.
(2) The pavement must have no hole
exceeding 3 inches in depth nor any
hole the slope of which from any point
in the hole to the nearest point at the
lip of the hole is 45 degrees or greater,
as measured from the pavement surface
plane, unless, in either case, the entire
area of the hole can be covered by a 5-
inch diameter circle.
(3) The pavement must be free of
cracks and surface variations that
could impair directional control of air
carrier aircraft, including any pave-
ment crack or surface deterioration
that produces loose aggregate or other
contaminants.

nants must be removed promptly and
as completely as practicable.

ment area must be removed as soon as
possible, consistent with the instruc-
tions of the manufacturer of the sol-
vent.

ciently drained and free of depressions
to prevent ponding that obscures
markings or impairs safe aircraft oper-
ations.

cluding the associated use of materials,
