Assessment, Measurement and Reporting of Runway Surface Conditions
Also Known As:
The ICAO CIR355:2019 standard aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of the surface friction characteristics that influence aircraft control during critical tire-to-ground contact. The standard serves to guide the maintenance of surface friction characteristics and establish a global reporting system and format for assessing and reporting runway surface conditions.
The circular outlines the global reporting format for assessing and reporting runway surface conditions, which is incorporated into several ICAO documents including Annex 3 (Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation), Annex 6 (Operation of Aircraft), Annex 8 (Airworthiness of Aircraft), Annex 14 (Aerodromes), Annex 15 (Aeronautical Information Services), and various Procedures for Air Navigation Services (PANS) and manuals related to aerodromes and air traffic management.
Key issues addressed by the standard include the surface friction characteristics of pavements and runway surface contaminants, the impact of surface characteristics on aircraft performance, the methods for assessing runway surface conditions, the reporting and dissemination of runway surface conditions, and the importance of appropriate training for personnel involved in assessing and reporting runway surface conditions.
