Appendix

AAPTP AIRPORT ASPHALT VIDEOS

To complement the written guidance in this Handbook, the AAPTP produced a series of 30 videos highlighting key topics covered in the chapters. Filmed at active airfield projects across the United States, these 3- to 5-minute videos demonstrate best practices in the field and feature perspectives from industry professionals. A video icon within the Handbook signals when a related video is available. A complete list of the videos, with direct links, is listed by chapter below.
