When are runways considered separate?
Runways at the same aerodrome that are separate landing surfaces. These runways may overlay or cross in such a way that if one of the runways is blocked, it will not prevent the planned type of operations on the other runway. Each runway shall have a separate approach procedure based on a separate navigation aid.
843
When is a runway considered contaminated?
when more than 25% of the runway surface area (whether in isolated areas or not) within the required length and width being used is covered by the following:
Surface water more than 3 mm deep, or by slush, or loose snow, equivalent to more than 3 mm of water; or
Snow which has been compressed into a solid weight which resists further compression and will hold together or break into lumps if picked up (compacted snow); or
Ice, including wet ice.
