RPTR STATES SERIOUS MAINT PROBS EXIST ON RWY 08L AT HONOLULU.

Narrative

THE FIRST 3000-4000 FT OF RWY 8L IS IN VERY POOR CONDITION AND NEEDS TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. CONCRETE CHUNKS ARE BEING DISLODGED ON ALMOST A DAILY BASIS. REPEATED ASPHALT PATCHES HAVE CREATED A VERY ROUGH SURFACE; RESULTING IN UNEVEN BRAKING AND ACFT VIBRATION. SURELY THIS ABUSE IS LEADING TO PREMATURE ACFT MAINT. THE CONDITION OF THE RWY IS BECOMING A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR SAID HE FLIES THE B737-300. THAT THE RWY NEEDS REPAIR IS NOT THE QUESTION. THE PART OF THE RWY THAT IS IN DISREPAIR BELONGS TO THE MIL -- THE FIRST 4500 FT OF RWY 08L OR FROM THE BEGINNING OF RWY 08L TO TXWY L. THIS RWY IS USED ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY FOR ARRS AND RWY 08R IS USED FOR DEPS. THE MIL DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO DO THE REPAIR. THE STATE DOES NOT HAVE THE FUNDS TO CORRECT THE PROBS ON THE MIL PORTION OF THE RWY. ACCORDING TO THE RPTR THE CTR KEEL OF THE RWY NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. THE ARPT MGMNT IS AWARE OF THE PROB BUT DOES NOT HAVE JURISDICTION OVER THE MIL PORTION OF THE RWY. THE MIL IS AWARE OF THE PROB BUT APPARENTLY DOES NOT FEEL THE NEED TO REPAIR THE RWY FOR THE AIRLINES. RWY IS ADEQUATE FOR THE MIL USE. THE RPTR; AN AIRLINE CAPT; CONSIDERS THE RWY CONDITION A SERIOUS HAZARD FOR THE AIRLINE PAX AND AIRLINE EQUIP NOT DESIGNED TO TAKE SUCH A BEATING.
