What you need to know to report your runway condition
From 4th November 2021 the international Global Reporting Format was introduced worldwide in a standardised format.
For the first time pilots are able to use runway condition reports to adjust their runway performance calculations.
This course gives you the tools and knowledge, with practised examples, to enable you to correctly compile a runway condition report for runways that do not experience snow and ice.
A further complimentary course is available to top-up your learning to snow and ice runway reporting.
GLOBAL STANDARD
This Global Reporting Format is for everyone. It is a global standard, all pilots, aerodrome air traffic control personnel, aeronautical information service personnel, airline operations support staff and aerodrome operators will be using and expecting EXACTLY THE SAME FORMAT.
