A-87-110
NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
THE NTSB RECOMMENDS THAT THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: DURING ANNUAL INSPECTIONS OF FULL CERTIFICATE AIRPORTS, EMPHASIZE THE IDENTIFICATION OF DEFICIENT RUNWAY CONDITIONS AND USE APPROVED FRICTION-MEASURING DEVICES TO MEASURE THE DRY RUNWAY COEFFICIENTS OF FRICTION; ENCOURAGE THE AIRPORT OPERATOR TO CORRECT (OR PROVIDE APPROPRIATE NOTICE TO USERS) RUNWAY CONDITIONS THAT DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA RECOMMENDED IN ADVISORY CIRCULAR 150/5320-12A. (Supersedes Safety Recommendation A-82-153)
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The FAA is asked to, during annual inspections of full certificate airports, focus on finding deficient runway conditions and use approved friction-measuring devices to measure dry runway friction coefficients. It should also encourage airport operators to fix or notify users about runway conditions that fall short of the criteria in Advisory Circular 150/5320-12A.
This plain-language summary is written by FlightFinder to explain the recommendation above. It is not the official wording — the verbatim NTSB text is quoted above.
