What are anchor disks?

Anchor disks are small disks specifically designed to secure anchor straps to the runway surface. Their primary function is to provide a stable and reliable attachment point that ensures the anchor straps remain firmly in place during operations, such as securing safety nets or other equipment. This attachment is crucial for maintaining safety and ensuring that the systems in place function effectively, as they need to be anchored securely against forces that may exert stress on the straps.

In contrast, weight plates and components related to tension release address different aspects of stability and operational functionality, whereas markers for aircraft landing serve an entirely different purpose related to aircraft guidance. Understanding the role of anchor disks highlights the importance of proper equipment design in contributing to operational safety and effectiveness.
