Nota adicional4
The term “braking action” has been in continuous use in the aviation industry although it has been used in different contexts and will, as such, continue to be used in the general sense. Braking action, in the context of reporting purposes, is used to define the stopping capability of an aircraft using wheel brakes and is related to pilot braking action reports. The term braking action has also been used to describe the estimated surface friction on the ground measured by a friction measurement device and reported as aircraft stopping capability. The ICAO SNOWTAM format uses the term “estimated surface friction” and should be understood as the total assessment of the slipperiness of the surface as judged by the ground staff based upon all information available.
Contexto
When ice, snow or slush is present on 10% or less of the total area of a runway, the friction coefficient will not be measured and braking action will not be estimated. If in such a situation water is present, the runway will be reported WET. Where only water is present on a runway and periodic measurements so indicate, the runway will be reported as “WET”.
