*************************************************************************** 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 Runway Condition Determination Reporting & Record Dissemination Workshop Report Dissemination Work Group PAGE PAGE 2
