Air-transportations has become one of the major transportations used in Malaysia aside from its capability being as an important socio-economic center which resulted by the emergence of trading industry. Generally, its greater performances are largely depends on its airfields conditions which represents significant investment strategies that need to be preserved for future generations that can only be achieved through regular maintenance. Furthermore, through the evidence from aircraft overrun and run-off incidents and accidents indicates that in many cases inadequate runway friction characteristics or aircraft braking performance was the primary cause or at least a contributory factor.
