Some military aerodromes and civil airports are equipped with aircraft arrestor cables at both ends of the main runway. Typically these systems consist of a raised (up and rigged) cable, under tension, with rubber spacers located equidistant along the cable, raising the cable off the runway surface. The crossing of raised (up and rigged) arrestor cables is an operational concern for operators due to potential damage to the landing gear.
