The method for rating the condition of semi-prepared airfields has four steps: 1. Divide the airfield into features and sections. 2. Inspect the airfield and identify the distresses. 3. Calculate the rating for each section. 4. Use the ratings to determine if the airfield is safe (see Table 9.6, SPACI Conditions). (paragraph 4)
SPACI is a process to objectively calculate the overall condition of the LZ using the distresses found on the LZ. (paragraph 4)
