Artificial turf airport marking safety system

An artificial turf for providing a marking at an airport, the artificial turf comprising:

• a backing;
• a plurality of base fibers secured to the backing;
• and
• a plurality of marking fibers secured to the backing so as to visually define at least a portion of an airport marking, wherein the marking fibers have a different pigment than the base fibers, the marking fibers located on the backing so that the turf installed along a runway or taxiway at the airport is sized and positioned proximate to the runway or taxiway to provide an aid to a pilot or ground personal to navigate through the airport.

An airport marking system comprising:

• a backing;
• a plurality of base fibers secured to the backing;
• a plurality of marking fibers secured to the backing, wherein the marking fibers are visually different from the base fibers;
• and
• an attachment mechanism that secures the backing to a runway or taxiway of an airport.

An airport marking and arrester bed system comprising:

• a backing;
• a plurality of base fibers secured to the backing;
• a plurality of marking fibers secured to the backing, wherein the marking fibers are visually different from the base fibers;
• a base beneath the backing, the base adapted to slow a moving aircraft;
• and
• an attachment mechanism that secures the backing to a runway or taxiway of an airport.

An airport marking system comprising:

• a backing installed adjacent to a runway or taxiway of an airport;
• a plurality of base fibers secured to the backing;
• and
• a plurality of marking fibers secured to the backing, wherein the marking fibers define at least a portion of an airport marking with respect to the base fibers, the airport marking selected from the group consisting of:
• a runway holding position line, a taxiway holding position line, an instrument landing system boundary marking, an aircraft/safety vehicle holding position signal, an aircraft/safety vehicle direction signal and an aircraft/safety vehicle location signal, the airport marking sized and positioned proximate to the runway or taxiway to provide an aid to a pilot or ground personal for navigation through the airport.

An airport marking system comprising:

• a backing installed adjacent to a runway or taxiway of an airport;
• a plurality of base fibers secured to the backing;
• and
• a plurality of marking fibers secured to the backing, wherein the marking fibers define at least a portion of an airport marking that is visible from an aircraft landing at the airport, the airport marking sized and positioned proximate to the runway or taxiway to provide an aid to a pilot for landing the aircraft.
