RunwaySense meets the 2021 ICAO Global Report Format
RunwaySense is a collaborative web-based platform where airspace users share runway condition reports in real-time to enhance the runway condition awareness, and to allow the airport to anticipate and mitigate slippery conditions.
RunwaySense uses data generated by the Braking Action Computation Function (“BACF”) as a sensor to determine how the runway condition is trending.
The principle of BACF is to use the data measured by the aircraft during its deceleration roll to identify the Braking Action level from DRY to POOR at different points of the runway. BACF integration is certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and available on A320 and A330 aircraft families.
Reports from BACF are compliant with the ICAO Global Reporting Format (“GRF”)
Runway condition reports can be obtained via two channels:
1
Runway Excursions (RE) are a major cause of accidents at airports. IATA data show that 25% of them occur on contaminated runways. Measuring the runway condition is therefore a key element in preventing RE events.
2
RunwaySense meets the ICAO Global Reporting Format requirements by using TALPA compliant runway condition reports.
3
RunwaySense generates real aircraft data that can support airports to meet SPWR requirements.
4
Only NAVBLUE can identify the braking action level based on Airbus aircraft performance models.
5
Access real-time data to better understand how the runway condition is trending to anticipate and mitigate slippery conditions.
6
