What does RWYCC stand for in GRF terminology?

• A. Runway Control and Condition Code
• B. Runway Condition Data Code
• C. Runway Condition Code
• D. Runway Clearance Year Code

Answer: (C)

RWYCC stands for Runway Condition Code. In the Global Reporting Format, this code is the numeric indicator that communicates the braking action of a runway by summarizing the surface condition and any contamination. Higher values mean better braking action, while lower values indicate poorer braking action. The code is derived from observed surface conditions (like dry, wet, snow, ice, slush, standing water) and the level of contamination, and it may be reported for different sections of the runway. This standardized code helps pilots assess landing performance and braking margins consistently across airports.
