Global Reporting Format (GRF) For: Runway Surface Conditions (RCR)

GLOBAL REPORTING FORMAT (GRF)
for RUNWAY SURFACE CONDITIONS (RCR)

JSC Aircompany SCAT
[ Problem Statement ]
Runway Excursion
• Aviation’s Number 1 –
Safety Risk Category
• Among the top
contributing factors are
poor braking action due to
contaminated runways
combined with shortfalls in
the accuracy and timeliness
of assessment and
reporting of the runway
surface conditions.

Objectives of Runway Condition Report (RCR)
Objectives

Assessing and Providing the Reporting
reporting the assessed significant changes
condition of the information in the without delay
movement correct format
area
Benefits
Improved safety
Improved efficiency
• Better understanding of
runway conditions. • Flight crews can better correlate reported
• Fewer runway runway surface conditions to contaminated
landing and take-off performance data
excursions. • Airport operators have an objective
method of reporting runway surface
conditions to flight crews.
Why is the Runway Condition Report (RCR) important?
1 To standardize the Reporting of Runway Surface Condition
Establish a common language between all related parties in airports with

2 one system (AD Operator, Aircraft Operators, Pilots, ATC, AIM, MET, etc)
3 Allow pilots to accurately determine aeroplane take-off and landing performance
Improve aerodrome safety >> better understanding of RWY condition & fewer RWY
4 excursion
5 Improved airport operations efficiency >> better decision making
6 Reduced environment impact >> better traffic management

The Main Agencies Roles

• Assess the RWY • Convey • Use information
