Under GRF, what are the outputs of a runway assessment?

• A. Runway Condition Code (RWYCC) and surface description
• B. Runway Lighting Level and Contaminant Type
• C. Aircraft Weight and Fuel Status
• D. Approach Lighting and Centerline Position

Answer: (A)

Global Reporting Format (GRF) standardizes how runway condition information is communicated. Under GRF, the runway assessment outputs are the Runway Condition Code (RWYCC) and a surface description. The RWYCC is a single numeric value (0–6) that conveys the slipperiness or braking action of the runway based on observed contamination and its depth, giving pilots and operators a quick, comparable measure of runway performance. The surface description provides detailed, qualitative information about the actual surface state—types of contamination (wet, dry, slush, standing water, snow, ice), coverage, depth, and any surface roughness or irregularities. Together, these outputs create a concise, actionable picture for safe landing and takeoff planning. The other options refer to lighting, or to aircraft performance inputs and navigation aids, which are not produced as outputs of the GRF runway assessment.
