A CORPORATE PLT BEGAN TKOF ROLL ON RWY 13 AT AYS. AFTER 50 FT HE ABORTED THE TKOF WHEN HE REALIZED THAT WHAT APPEARED TO BE ONE CONTINUOUS AREA OF CONCRETE WAS ACTUALLY SOD AND DRIED GRASS.

Narrative

A HAZARDOUS SIT EXISTS AT WAYCROSS; GA; WARE COUNTY ARPT. THE TXWY THAT LEADS TO RWY 13 NO LONGER EXISTS PAST RWY 18 AS DEPICTED ON THE COMMERCIAL CHARTS. TWO UTILITY CUTS WERE MADE DURING THE INSTALLATION OF THE ILS RWY 18 AND ARE NOW SOD. CURRENTLY THERE ARE TWO PAINTED THRESHOLDS FOR RWY 13. THE MARKINGS ON THE TXWY THAT LEAD TO RWY 13 ARE CHEVRONS INSTEAD OF ONE SINGLE YELLOW TXWY LINE AND GIVE THE APPEARANCE OF TKOF LINES. AS ONE TURNS TO ALIGN WITH RWY 13 FROM THE NBOUND TXWY IT APPEARS TO BE ONE CONTINUOUS PAVED AREA ESPECIALLY WITH THE DRIED GRASS MATCHING THE CONCRETE COLOR. AFTER SEEING SEVERAL ACFT TAXI THROUGH THIS AREA FROM THE FBO; I ELECTED TO TKOF ON RWY 13. WITHIN 50 FT I SAW THAT IT WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE AND ABORTED; BUT ROLLED THROUGH THE SOD AREAS WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE OR ARPT. TWO CONTRIBUTING FACTORS WERE THE SUN GLARE ON THE WINDSHIELD AND RUNNING A CHECKLIST ON THE RADAR THAT DISTRACTED MY OUTSIDE SCAN. THIS IS A LOANER ACFT FROM ANOTHER BASE AND DIFFERENT FROM THE MODEL THAT I NORMALLY FLY. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTR; FLYING A KING AIR SINGLE PLT; DID NOT MAKE CONTACT WITH ARPT OPS ON THIS FIRST FLT. HOWEVER; HE STATED THAT HE HAD FLOWN THERE FOUR TIMES NOW AND HAD A CONVERSATION WITH ARPT OPS ON HIS SECOND FLT. ALLEGEDLY; THE FAA FUNDED A CONTRACTOR TO INSTALL THE ILS FOR RWY 18 AND MADE TWO CUTS FOR THE UTILITY LINES. THOUGH THEY COMPLETED THE ILS; THEY DID NOT REPAIR THE PAVEMENT SO THAT THERE IS NO REASONABLE TXWY TO RWY PROPERLY ACCESSIBLE. FURTHER; THEY INFORMED THE RPTR THAT THERE IS NOW AN ACCURATE ARPT DIAGRAM PUT OUT BY THE STATE OF GA; BUT THAT THE COMMERCIAL CHART MAKER DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS LATEST INFO. ALLEGEDLY; THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PROBS AT AYS. FURTHER; THE RPTR SUGGESTED THAT THE CHEVRONS BE REMOVED SINCE THEY INDICATE A DISPLACED THRESHOLD ON A TXWY. THEY SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH A SINGLE YELLOW LINE LEADING UP TO THE RWY AS IS THE INDUSTRY STANDARD. ANOTHER ITEM OF CONCERN IS THAT A RWY LIGHT FOR RWY 18 IS INSTALLED ALONG ITS EXTENDED CTRLINE; RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SOD AREA FOR RWY 13 CAUSING AN OBSTACLE.
