GM1 ADR-DSN.B.200Stopways
(a)The transition from one slope to another should be accomplished by a curved surface with a rate of change not exceeding:
(1)0.3 % per 30 m (minimum radius of curvature of 10 000 m) where the code number is 3 or 4; and
(2)0.4 % per 30 m (minimum radius of curvature of 7 500 m) where the code number is 1 or 2.
(b)The friction characteristics of an unpaved stopway should not be substantially less than that of the runway with which the stopway is associated.
(c)The economy of a stopway can be entirely lost if, after each usage, it should be regraded and compacted. Therefore, it should be designed to withstand at least a certain number of loadings of the aeroplane which the stopway is intended to serve without inducing structural damage to the aeroplane.
(d)Notwithstanding that a stopway may have a paved surface, it is not intended that bearing strength data need to be developed for a stopway (see Part-ADR.OPS of Regulation (EU) No 139/2014 for the method on reporting the bearing strength of the pavement).
