| <p><strong>Mission Statement: Determine what can be accomplished to provide the most accurate and timely information to flightcrews and operators.</strong></p> |
| <p><strong>Step 1 – Define Information Required:</strong></p> |
| <p>Runway Condition Reports (airport operators) – <strong>FAA Airports for action</strong></p> |
| <p>Time of report</p> |
| <p>Type of contaminant for each 1/3 of the runway</p> |
| <p>Characterize type: </p> |
| <p>snow, wet or dry</p> |
| <p>ice, patchy</p> |
| <p>water, standing</p> |
| <p>slush</p> |
| <p>Depth of contaminant for each 1/3 of the runway</p> |
| <p>Time of last runway treatment (anti / deice treatments, plowing, brooming, etc)</p> |
| <p>Length and width treated</p> |
| <p>Anticipated time of next treatment</p> |
| <p>Runway Mu for each 1/3 of the runway</p> |
| <p>Braking Action Reports (pilots)</p> |
| <p>Time stamp</p> |
| <p>Type & model of aircraft making report</p> |
| <p>Weight / loading of aircraft(?)</p> |
| <p>Carrier(?)</p> |
| <p>Where exit runway(?)</p> |
| <p>Affected runway</p> |
| <p>Braking Action Reports (using newly defined terminology)</p> |
| <p><strong>Step 2 - How to achieve timely provision of above information:</strong></p> |
| <p>Short Term:</p> |
| <p>Issue a SAFO</p> |
| <p>Provide listing of information required above</p> |
| <p>Harlan agreed to compile SAFO information from WG members</p> |
| <p>Include abbreviated information set on ATIS</p> |
| <p>Runway Mu on each 1/3 of the runway</p> |
| <p>Latest Braking Action Report (using newly defined terminology)</p> |
| <p>Runway contaminant type & depth on each 1/3 of the runway</p> |
| <p>Trigger ATIS “<em>Braking Action Advisories in Effect</em>” at a report of less than GOOD braking action – <strong>FAA Air Traffic for action</strong></p> |
| <p>Flightcrews to provide more Braking Action PIREPS</p> |
| <p>Dispatchers and Air traffic to solicit and disseminate more Braking Action PIREPS through ADDS or NAIMES</p> |
| <p>Amend the NOTAM system</p> |
| <p>More responsive</p> |
| <p>L-NOTAM available</p> |
| <p>Amend the AIM to include newly defined Braking Action Report terminology</p> |
| <p>Longer Term:</p> |
| <p>Information uploadable to select NWS / NOAA websites for immediate and universal access</p> |
| <p>Standardized electronic formatting of information</p> |
| <p>Standard reporting of information</p> |
| <p>Rapid capturing of information</p> |
| <p>Easy access to captured information</p> |
| <p>Review and amend the QICP (Quality Internet Communication Protocol) approval process</p> |
| <p>Advisory Circular 00-62</p> |
| <p>Review approval criteria</p> |
| <p>Accelerate approval process</p> |
