The composition attribute is used to code the type of the predominant material of which a surface of the movement area is composed.

Note
titleNote
PANS-AIM requires the surface type (i.e. composition) to be provided for runways and TLOFs.

The preparation technique(s) applied to a surface composition are coded by the preparation attribute.

The quality of the surface of an airport surface will be coded with the surfaceCondition attribute.
