Runway Condition Codes (RCC) Flashcards
Q.2.1 What is the Policy regarding approach and landing with +RA in the forcast at ETA
Prior to initiating an approach, Pilots must confirm that landing data using BRK ACT input of 2-MED TO POOR results in a positive stopping marin whenever, at the time of arrival, there is a likelihood of:
* Heavy rain (+RA) on a grooved/PFC runway
* Moderate or greater rain (RA/+RA) on a non-grovved runway
AOM 10.7.2
Q.2.2. If runway conditions are RCC 3-MED or less, what is the recommended flaps setting?
Flaps 40
AOM 12.1.3.2
Q.2.3 What is the Policy regarding braking action PIREPs?
Provide a PIREP when:
1. Braking action advisories are in effect
2. Anytime actual braking action is less than GOOD, or
3. When braking action encountered is less than reported.
FOM 12.2.1
Q.2.4 Is there a resource available to assist you in determining which braking action PIREP to report after landing?
Yes.
1. TALPA hot link in the SIP
2. FOM Figures 12.1 and 12.2 .
FOM 12.2.4, 12.2.5
Q.2.5 What is the purpose of Runway Condition Codes (RCCs)?
RCCs are used for determining landing performance calculations when more than 25% of the runway surface area is contaminated. They are numbered 0 to 6.
FOM 12.2.2.1
Q.2.6 What is the significance of three RCC values for a specific runway?
RCC values are reported for each third of a runway. The most restrictive RCC value is used when multiple RCC values are reported.
FOM 12.2.2.1
Q.2.7 How do you determine if your intended runway is grooved?
Refer to the Jeppesen -9A page for the specific airport
AOM 10.7.2
