FAA AC 150/5200-30D: Airport Field Condition Assessments and Winter Operations Safety

Details

Abstract: This advisory circular (AC) provides information on when to issue runway condition reports. It also provides language that addresses the impact of snow accumulation around NAVAIDs. It includes updates based on feedback received from airport operators seeking additional guidance to help improve the implementation of the takeoff and landing performance assessment initiative. These improvements relate to reporting wet runway, slippery when wet reporting procedures, unacceptable aspects of reporting Mu values to aircraft operators, using current runway in use for generating runway surface condition reports, airport operators’ abilities to use mitigations to improve runway conditions, and clarifications on using Conditions Not Monitored NOTAMs and Surface Conditions Not Reported NOTAMs.
