Mission Statement: Determine what can be accomplished to provide the most accurate and timely information to flightcrews and operators.

Step 1 – Define Information Required:

Runway Condition Reports (airport operators) – FAA Airports for action

Time of report

Type of contaminant for each 1/3 of the runway

Characterize type:

snow, wet or dry

ice, patchy

water, standing

slush

Depth of contaminant for each 1/3 of the runway

Time of last runway treatment (anti / deice treatments, plowing, brooming, etc)

Length and width treated

Anticipated time of next treatment

Runway Mu for each 1/3 of the runway

Braking Action Reports (pilots)

Time stamp

Type & model of aircraft making report

Weight / loading of aircraft(?)

Carrier(?)

Where exit runway(?)

Affected runway

Braking Action Reports (using newly defined terminology)

Step 2 - How to achieve timely provision of above information:

Short Term:

Issue a SAFO

Provide listing of information required above

Harlan agreed to compile SAFO information from WG members

Include abbreviated information set on ATIS

Runway Mu on each 1/3 of the runway

Latest Braking Action Report (using newly defined terminology)

Runway contaminant type & depth on each 1/3 of the runway

Trigger ATIS “Braking Action Advisories in Effect” at a report of less than GOOD braking action – FAA Air Traffic for action

Flightcrews to provide more Braking Action PIREPS

Dispatchers and Air traffic to solicit and disseminate more Braking Action PIREPS through ADDS or NAIMES

Amend the NOTAM system

More responsive

L-NOTAM available

Amend the AIM to include newly defined Braking Action Report terminology

Longer Term:

Information uploadable to select NWS / NOAA websites for immediate and universal access

Standardized electronic formatting of information

Standard reporting of information

Rapid capturing of information

Easy access to captured information

Review and amend the QICP (Quality Internet Communication Protocol) approval process

Advisory Circular 00-62

Review approval criteria

Accelerate approval process
