Analysis of aircraft landing on non-standard runways

In some parts of the world, airport runways are not constructed and maintained to the standards expected in North America and Western Europe. Aircraft designed for use on smooth runways may not be certifiable when they are operated on rougher runways because the predicted load cases associated with landing and take-off are very different from those that are experienced in service. This project seeks to analyze flight data from aircraft operating on non-standard runways and demonstrate that the loads on the aircraft are within suitable limits and are acceptable for certification.
