Douglas Equipment International will be attending the 16th Annual NASA/FAA Tire/Runway Friction Workshop in central Pennsylvania on August 23 – 29, 2009. The workshop, a long-standing tradition at the NASA Wallops Island Flight Facility, Virginia, was relocated to the Larson Transportation Institute’s (LTI’s) facilities in University Park, Pennsylvania this year.
Douglas Equipment International Inc, based in Atlanta Georgia, will be tetsing and exhibiting the latest MK6 Mu-Meter.
Mu-Meter is the world’s best selling CFME system, offering a comprehensive, fully portable means of compiling runway friction reports and contaminant drag measurement data without the need for specialist towing vehicles. It is a major part of Douglas SPD’s extensive range of aircraft handling and associated equipment, the majority of which is supplied into the military sector.
Key features of the Mu-Meter include full integration, a powerful onboard microprocessor based system for years of trouble-free operation and the unit is supplied with a touch screen laptop for in vehicle use. It operates in both dry and self wetting modes although the machines supplied to DHMI are for dry conditions operation.
Mu-Meter is now available with optional software to provide runway contaminant drag measurement as well as audible GPS position and report history.
Automatically computerised results are produced in a range of prescribed formats - CAA/FAA/ICAO/CAP683 etc - and in the chosen language of the operator.
