I presume these thicknesses are concrete?

I'm surprised you would do as little as 75mm for a Cessna. I thought driveways / garages were typically 100mm and frequently 125mm. I had also presumed that 182 & heavier aircraft have higher contact pressures than cars (similar weight, but 3 heels not 4 and smaller wheels) which might require better pavement strength than driveways.
