SUMMARY OF DISCUSSIONS
Workshop on Implementation of the New Global Reporting Format (GRF) for Runway Surface
Conditions - ICAO EUR Region
(Paris, France, 10-11 July 2019)
1. Introduction
1.1. The Workshop on Implementation of the New Global Reporting Format (GRF) for Runway
Surface Conditions in the ICAO EUR Region was held at the ICAO EUR/NAT Regional Office in Paris,
France from 10 to 11 July 2019.
1.2. The list of participants and contact list are provided at Appendix A and Appendix B. A total of
98 experts from 29 States, 5 International Organizations (ACI, CANSO, EASA, IATA and ICAO), 1 Airline
and 1 Industry participated in the workshop. The workshop agenda is at Appendix C.
1.3. The Secretariat of the workshop was Mr. Chris Keohan assisted by Mr. Abbas Niknejad and
Ms. Natalia Savvina from the ICAO EUR/NAT Office.
2. Overview of GRF
2.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/01 presented by Andrew Badham (United Kingdom). A
description of the GRF methodology, both ground and airborne aspects, history and development process
was provided.
2.2. It was noted that the Aerodrome Design and Operations Panel (ADOP) was tasked to address
the ICAO Air Navigation Commission Job Card AP001: Runway surface conditions have contributed to
many safety events and investigations have revealed shortfalls in the accuracy and timeliness of assessment
and reporting methods currently provided in ICAO provisions and guidance material. This task was
assigned to the Runway Friction Task Force (FTF) of ADOP, which developed the GRF. GRF provides a
common language of contaminant types, runway condition codes and direct input to performance
assessment. Note that only contaminant types that have aircraft performance data are included in GRF
(therefore, contaminants such as sand, mud are not included as contaminants since there is no aircraft
performance data associated with these contaminants).
2.3. GRF contains a Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM) that includes assessment
criteria (runway condition code and runway surface description) that is linked to downgrade assessment
criteria (aeroplane deceleration or directional control observation and pilot braking action advisory report).

3. ICAO documentation
3.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/06, presented by Andrew Badham (United Kingdom) on
behalf of Lars Kornstaedt (Airbus). The workshop was briefed on proposed amendments to ICAO
documentation: Annex 3 - Meteorological Service for International Air Navigation, Annex 6 - Operation of
Aircraft, ICAO Doc 10064 - Aeroplane Performance Manual, Annex 8 – Airworthiness of Aircraft, Annex
11 – Air Traffic Services, ICAO Doc 4444 - Air Traffic Management, Annex 14 - Aerodromes, ICAO Doc
9981 - Aerodromes, Circular 355 – Assessment, Measurement and Reporting and Runway Surface
Conditions and Annex 15 - Aeronautical Information Services.
3.2. The workshop noted that the applicability date of these changes to the provisions related to
GRF is 5 November 2020.
3.3. The workshop also noted that GRF applies to all States, even those that do not experience snow
and ice since many aircraft overruns are the result of operations on wet/flooded runways.
3.4. Annex 8 provisions described take-off performance on a contaminated runway. In addition, the
provisions include a mandate to split landing performance information into 1) at time of take-off data
(dispatch) and 2) at time of landing data (in-flight).
3.5. Annex 6 provisions added a mandate to provide an AIREP when conditions are worse than
reported. Also, a mandate of in-flight check with appropriate landing margin before starting approach was
added to the provisions.
3.6. ICAO Doc 10064 was developed in light of GRF and expected to be available by the end of
2019.
3.7. A chapter on operations on contaminated runways included a description of the Runway
Condition Report (RCR) for Operators and Pilots; introduction to the Assessment Process applied by the
Aerodrome; description and use of the RCAM and Runway Condition Code (RWYCC); considerations for
making AIREPs of Braking Action and a training syllabus.
3.8. A chapter on landing included a derivation of landing performance data for time of arrival;
publication of data and limitations; fall-back generic factors in case no data is provided by the manufacturer;
regulatory background; considerations for performance assessment in approach preparation; and
considerations for flight crew and pilot procedures for landing on length-limited runways.
3.9. A chapter for take-off operations emphasized that contaminant drag (using contaminant type
and depth) must be accounted for when making take-off computations. Since typical manufacturer data
certified to Certification Specifications (CS)25 pre-amendment 2 does not cover many contaminant in the
RCAM (missing: frost, dry snow, wet snow, compacted snow at temperature above -15C, slippery when wet
and ice cold and dry), the Aircraft Performance Model (APM) offers advice on how to compute for missing
contaminants conservatively.
3.10. The workshop noted a major difference between information needed for operators when landing
(RWYCC) versus take-off (RWYCC, contaminant type and depth).
3 GRF Workshop (EUR, Paris) – Summary of Discussions
3.11. The workshop noted with concern the use of ATIS in providing more than the minimum
information required due to volume limitations. The minimum information required is: aerodrome location
indicator, date/time of assessment – time of completion of assessment in UTC, lower runway designation
number, Runway Condition Code - RWYCC, condition description over total runway length – observed on
each runway third, starting from threshold having the lower runway designator number. Examples of extra
information are e.g. snowbanks, drifting snow, depth (mm) of loose contaminant for each runway third. One
possible solution to this issue could be to provide two ATIS frequencies, one for departure and one for
arrivals.
3.12. The workshop also noted that dispatch served as a link of providing the most updated
information to the pilot since SNOWTAM is used mainly for flight planning. In addition, there are various
examples of when information is needed and who would provide the latest runway condition assessment
information. That is, at top of decent this information could come from dispatch. During arrival/approach
segments, this information would most likely come from ATC via radio communications. When entering the
terminal area, this information would likely be retrieved via ATIS (noting that the GRF information on ATIS
is provided in accordance to the active runway).
4. Case studies
4.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/09, presented by Phillip Davenport (United States). A
detailed case study examining the planning, training, implementation activities as well as challenges and
lessons learnt by United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) was provided to the workshop.
Parallel testing of the Take-off and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) was conducted with the
legacy system for 2 winter seasons. Tools such as templates to provide the runway assessment were
provided to reduce errors in reporting this information. An awareness campaign was also conducted that
used e.g. Webinars and Frequently Asked Questions. The main challenges identified in this implementation
was time to implement; managing resistance to change; ceasing the dissemination of friction measurements
to pilots. The workshop noted and emphasized that friction measurements should not be reported to pilots.
4.2. The workshop noted that the FAA monitors their runway assessment reporting (via archived
NOTAM) with reports from pilots (via archived AIREPs). Data analysis would be shared with any interested
participant of the workshop. This would also be considered as best practice to be used in the ICAO EUR
Region.
5. Implementation view (airports)
5.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/04, presented by Joerg Simon (Munich Airport). To achieve
GRF implementation, the airport operator was provided the following steps: read the manuals (e.g. Doc
9981, PANS-ADR, Second Edition, ICAO Circular 355 and EASA NPA 2018-14); conduct training on the
new methods and procedures to the relevant airport staff noting that personnel conducting runway surface
condition assessments would need enhanced training; provide a timely adjustment of locally used software
for the reporting (e.g. new forms for SNOWTAM); and inform the stakeholders of the change.
6. Implementation view (airlines)
6.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/11, presented by Anthony Van Der Veldt (IATA). The
workshop noted that IATA’s position on GRF is as follows: One global standard for assessing and
4 GRF Workshop (EUR, Paris) – Summary of Discussions
reporting runway surface conditions is a first for our industry and welcomed by our members and should
help to drive down the number of runway excursion incidents where a contaminated runway was a
contributing factor. Furthermore, IATA suggested a simple implementation map should be considered, to
allow operators to easily determine the extent of GRF implementation. In addition, any differences from
ICAO GRF should be promulgated in a timely manner.
7. Implementation view (ANSP)
CANSO
7.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/10, presented by Philipp Wachter (CANSO). CANSO their
perspective as to why GRF is important to ATC: to anticipate and manage the flow of air traffic; to help
minimize delays; to manage staffing, sectors openings; identify which airports remain valid alternates; and
assist crews in their decision making process. A very strong emphasis was placed on training in order to
successfully implement GRF.
MicroStep
7.2. The subject was addressed in PPT/07, presented by Pavol Nechaj (MicroStep – MIS industry
partner of LPS SR, ANSP of Slovakia) which highlighted that 22% of all accidents from 2010 to 2014 were
related to runway excursions according to an IATA Safety Report. This risk could be mitigated by on-board
and ground systems that may warn pilots, controllers or both when conditions warrant. The scope of
concerned SESAR Solution Pj03b-06 was described including airborne systems such as Runway Overrun
Awareness and Alerting System (ROAAS) and On-board Braking Action Computation System (OBACS)
and ground system named Runway Condition Awareness Management System (RCAMS).
7.3. The Airport Runway Weather Information System (ARWIS) was described to provide
continuous assessment of the runway surface condition as well as provide a short term forecast of runway
condition. ARWIS also disseminates RCR and provides operational alerts on deteriorated runway conditions
when they are detected or forecasted.
7.4. The workshop noted that a fully automated assessment would not be available by the
implementation date of 5 November 2020 and that a human assessment is still needed for the time being.
8. State Perspective
France
8.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/05 presented by Christine Roure & Antoine Dejean de la
Batie. France provided the workshop an example of a States perspective of implementation, planning and
regulatory approach. In particular, France was part of the TALPA trial at 12 aerodromes (2 overseas) for 3
winter seasons (2014-2017). A correlation between RWYCC and AIREPs revealed that improvements to
reporting RWYCC were still needed noting that this correlation between RWYCC and AIREPs could only
be done for 1/3 of all the data (AIREPs were less numerous than the RWYCC).
8.2. A French steering committee was created in October 2017 that consisted of Aircraft
manufacturers, Airlines, Airports, AIS, ANSPs, CAA, Pilots and Weather Service along with ICAO and
EASA. Terms of reference of the steering committee were developed which basically contained high level
5 GRF Workshop (EUR, Paris) – Summary of Discussions
implementation tasks. An awareness campaign was also conducted through seminars, symposiums, forums,
conferences and meetings. National regulations were in the process of being updated. Guidance material is
being developed and the CAA will assist in training, but not be responsible for training.
8.3. France noted that the main challenges of implementation included: stakeholder involvement at
an operational level; good practical coordination to achieve a globally harmonized methodology and staff
training in accordance with the concept. France also suggested testing implementation in real conditions
during winter 2019-2020.
8.4. PPT/08 presented by Hervé Bilot and Antoine Dejean de la Batie was provided to the
workshop. This presentation described the French Early Implementation and Runway Weather Information
System noting France has approximately 150 airports (105-115 in France and 40-45 airports overseas) that
GRF implementation applies. These airports vary from large international airports to small national airports
and airports on islands.
8.5. A test of this system in the form of operational organization for information management is
expected beginning November 2019 at 1 medium EASA airport and 1 national one. This test involves airport
operators, ANSP, regional CAA, airlines and AIS. Developing an experimental agreement is in progress.
Feedback in Spring 2020 will assist in taking appropriate corrective actions noting an initial internal
feedback will be available in January 2020 allowing more implementation adjustments if necessary.
8.6. EASA would consider how to collect and share the analysis of GRF conducted in the winter
2019-2020 season from EUR States conducting these tests.
8.7. The airport selection for this test considered colder locations that would increase the probability
of various RCR and SNOWTAM. Strasbourg and Colmar were selected which also have commercial and
non-commercial flights and significant enough traffic that will test the GRF.
8.8. As part of the planning for this test, various documents are being produced for various
stakeholders to assist in training. Concerns identified included: identifying all processes to adjust (notably
between airports and operators and ATS) and adjusting if necessary AIS applications and transmission
times. Concerns associated with airports’ operators included: increasing charge (more SNOWTAM) and no
more communication of friction measures which pilots use (but again are not correlated with performance).
EASA
8.9. The subject was addressed in PPT/03, presented by Vasileios Stefanioros (EASA). EASA
focused on the implementation of GRF, challenges and the way forward. Given that there are 592
aerodromes in the EASA scope and the occurrence of runway excursions is a significant risk,
implementation of GRF is a high priority of EASA. Four different rulemaking tasks address the following:
Air Operations, Aerodromes, ATM/ANS, AIS and Rules of the Air. Rulemaking is compliant to ICAO
provisions. Basic principles of the GRF are kept at the rule level to prohibit deviations while procedural
issues are included in the acceptable means of compliance to allow some flexibility in the implementation.
The latter gives States flexibility on how to conduct their assessment without prescribing specific
technology. Furthermore, extensive guidance material is provided in order to explain the GRF. Adoption of
regulations (Reg. (EU) 965/2012, 2017/373, 139/2014, 923/2012, 2017/373) expected by early 2020. EASA
emphasized to EU States to apply EU Regulations to those aerodromes this applies and harmonize this
6 GRF Workshop (EUR, Paris) – Summary of Discussions
regulation to those aerodromes that fall under the national procedures. Challenges identified included
different level of experience and exposure on operations on contaminated runways; management of change;
and determining how to ensure accurate assessments, especially at busy runways.
8.10. EASA will assess implementation of GRF in the years to follow November 2020 and if issues
are identified, EASA will be actively involved in any proposed changes to the global provisions.
9. AIS aspects
9.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/02, presented by Abbas Niknejad (ICAO Paris). The
workshop was provided with AIS/AIM aspects of implementing GRF, in particular origination and
dissemination of SNOWTAM. The workshop was briefed on the changes to the SNOWTAM definition,
provisions and format, introduced in the PANS-AIM (former amendment 39B to Annex 15).
9.2. It was noted that the maximum validity of SNOWTAM (and thus RCR) is 8 hours. It was also
noted that a new RCR (and then SNOWTAM) should be initiated when a significant change occurs in the
runway surface condition, as described in the PANS-ADR. Significant change would be any change to the
following: the RWYCC; the contaminant type; the contaminant coverage; depth of the contaminant
(standing water and slush: 3 -15 mm, wet snow: 5 mm and dry snow: 20 mm); and any other change that
could be considered significant.
9.3. The workshop was provided with some recommendations for implementation such as: updating
State’s regulatory framework; establishment of a national implementation team & plan that takes into
account the modified ICAO provisions; training, awareness, education; coordination between AIS, affected
aerodromes, ATS units and Users (operators/airlines) of the new requirements and changes (through
circular, etc.); revision/updating of the software/templates used to issue/receive SNOWTAM
(NOTAM/SNOWTAM system); updating the formal arrangements between aerodromes and AIS; and
publication of an Aeronautical Information Circular (AIC) for awareness and readiness.
9.4. It was highlighted that two methods of disseminating GRF are through SNOWTAM and in
some cases through voice communications by ATS (radiotelephony & ATIS). The workshop also noted that
guidance on upgrading and downgrading of the RWYCC is provided in ICAO Doc 9981.
10. Training requirements/ resources
ACI
10.1. The subject was addressed in PPT/12, presented by Olivier Sciara (ACI). The following topics
were addressed: course development timeline; course content; RCAM; when to issue a new Runway
Condition Report; Worksheet and Examples for Winter Conditions; Worksheet and Examples for Wet
Conditions; example descriptions; and testimonials and feedback. The course will take approximately 3
hours and has the capability to start and stop anytime. Furthermore, a certificate is issued when completed.
The course will remain in your online library for reference and it can be referenced as often as possible. For
more information or register, access www.olc.aero or contact enrolments@olc.aero.
IATA
7 GRF Workshop (EUR, Paris) – Summary of Discussions
10.2. The subject was addressed in PPT/13, presented by Anthony Van Der Veldt (IATA). GRF
training for the airlines is in development and expected to become available in December 2019. This training
will focus on airline operations (e.g. pilot has to perform landing and take-off calculations). IATA also plans
to conduct a seminar catered to airlines in Madrid in Q1 2020.
CANSO
10.3. CANSO informed the workshop that it would develop guidance and training for its stakeholders
in the coming months.
10.4. The workshop noted that the training material from the various stakeholders (e.g. ACI, CANSO
and IATA) is being coordinated at ICAO HQ.
11. Conclusions
11.1. The workshop noted other GRF workshops planned:
• 10-11 December 2019; Frankfurt (ACI); confirmed
• 28-29 January 2020; Helsinki (Finavia); confirmed
• Q1 2020; Madrid (IATA); tbd
• Q4 2019-Q2 2020; Astana (Kazaeronavigatsia); tbd
11.2. The workshop also developed a GRF implementation check list as provided at Appendix D
which was mainly developed in relation to the summary provided at PPT/01 as well as input by the meeting.
11.3. The workshop closed at 1640 on 11 July 2019.
