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.
