Airports / General Aviation / Grass & Unpaved
Keep the airstrip usable through surface and seasonal care.
For light-aircraft operations, turf health, soil moisture, bearing condition, rutting and local drainage often matter more than a major pavement study.
Treat the runway as a living ground surface.
Dromo can help owners and operators understand surface regularity, soft areas, longitudinal and crossfall drainage, rutting, erosion, vegetation and obstacle context. The aim is a practical maintenance and improvement plan tied to the aircraft and periods of use.
Recommendations can cover mowing and vegetation control, local grading, soil and turf repair, drainage corrections, seasonal inspections, operational limitations and repeatable condition records. The tone and scope remain those of a general-aviation airstrip—not a military operating surface or international airport.
Connected capability
Seasonal operability from the ground up.
Turf & Soil Condition
Observe vegetation cover, roots, compaction, softness and local failure.
02Bearing & Rutting
Identify areas vulnerable to wheel loads, moisture and repeated traffic.
03Surface Regularity
Review bumps, depressions, crossfall and safe transition zones.
04Water Management
Improve local flow, outlets and drying without damaging the usable strip.
05Maintenance Regime
Connect mowing, repair, inspection and seasonal preparation.
06Proportionate Records
Create simple comparable evidence for owner and pilot decisions.
Continue through the Dromo system
Markets, services and evidence remain connected.
Improve reliability without overengineering the strip.
Dromo can define a focused condition, drainage, maintenance or improvement plan for a grass or unpaved airstrip.
