RUNWAY CONDITION ASSESSMENT MATRIX (RCAM) | |||
Assessment criteria | Downgrade assessment criteria | ||
Runway condition code (RWYCC) | Runway surface description | Aeroplane deceleration or directional control observation | Pilot report of runway braking action |
6 | DRY | - | - |
5 | WET (The runway surface is covered by any visible dampness or water up to and including 3 mm depth) | Braking deceleration is normal for the wheel braking effort applied AND directional control is normal. | GOOD |
4 |
| Braking deceleration OR directional control is between Good and Medium. | GOOD TO MEDIUM |
3 | WET (“slippery wet” runway) | Braking deceleration is noticeably reduced for the wheel braking effort applied OR directional control is noticeably reduced. | MEDIUM |
2 | More than 3 mm depth of water: STANDING WATER | Braking deceleration OR directional control is between Medium and Poor. | MEDIM TO POOR |
1 |
| Braking deceleration is significantly reduced for the wheel braking effort applied OR directional control is significantly reduced. | POOR |
0 |
| Braking deceleration is minimal to non-existent for the wheel braking effort applied OR directional control is uncertain. | LESS THAN POOR |
