Yokota Airmen conduct annual Aircraft Arresting System certification

Airmen with the 374th Civil Engineer Squadron electrical power production run the runway to inspect a 1,200 foot strap used to stop aircraft during an annual certification test of the flightline BAK-12 barrier, Aircraft Arresting System at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Feb. 4, 2022. The AAS utilizes the arresting hooks attached to the tail of an aircraft to safely decelerate and stop the aircraft when needed to land in short distances. Ensuring the BAK-12 is fully functional through certification testing reenforces Yokota’s multi-capable presence in the Indo-Pacific region. (U.S. Air Force photo by Yasuo Osakabe)
