Icing Conditions (Definition)
Icing conditions may be expected when the OAT (on ground) or TAT (in flight) is at or below 10°C, and there is visible moisture in the air (such as clouds, fog with low visibility of one mile or less, rain, snow, sleet, ice crystals) or standing water, slush, ice or snow is present on the taxiways or runways.
Slippery Runway (Definition)
A Runway that is considered to be more slippery than just a wet surface. This would be the result of freezing rain and/or freezing temperatures.
Wet Runway (Definition)
A Runway that has a shinny appearance due to a thin layer of water less than 1/8” or 3mm covering 100% of the Runway surface. If there are any dry spots showing on a dying runway with no standing water, the runway is not considered to be wet.
Contaminated Runway (Definition)
A Runway where more than 25% of the Runway length, within the wild h being used, is covered by standing water or slush more than 1/8” or 3mm deep, or that has an accumulation of snow or ice. A Runway may also be considered contaminated with less than 25% coverage if the contaminate is located prior to the midpoint of the runway.
