    Study Notes

    Global Reporting Format (GRF) for Runway Condition Assessment

    • Aims to standardize reporting methods for runway conditions to enhance safety and efficiency in aviation operations.
    • Developed by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
    • Implementation is set to begin in November 2021.

    Runway Condition Report (RCR) Transmission Order

    • Elements of the RCR are transmitted in the following order for each third of the runway:
      • Runway designation
      • Condition report for each third
      • Friction measurement data

    Elements of the Runway Condition Report (RCR)

    • According to the GRF methodology, the RCR includes:
      • Surface type (e.g., dry, wet, icy)
      • Condition descriptions (e.g., contaminated, unserviceable)
      • Friction coefficients

    Airborne Collision Avoidance System (ACAS)

    • ACAS is designed to prevent mid-air collisions through real-time alerts and guidance for pilots.
    • Serves as a backup to the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS), enhancing flight safety by providing vertical maneuvering instructions during potential collision situations.
