Note: The unshaded portion of the RCAM is associated with how an airport operator conducts a runway condition assessment.
Note: The shaded portion of the RCAM is associated with the pilot’s experience with braking action.
Note: The Pilot/Aircraft Operator Operational RCAM illustration will differ from the RCAM illustration used by airport operators. The RCAM illustration used by
Airport Operators is not intended for use by pilots and/or aircraft operators.
Note: Runway Condition Codes (RwyCC), one for each third of the landing surface, (e.g., 4/3/3), represent the runway condition description
as reported by the airport operator. The reporting of codes by runway thirds began October 2016.
TIME OF ARRIVAL LANDING DISTANCE ASSESSMENT
• When a grooved or PFC surfaced runway is wet, the assessment may be based on using the AFM dry
runway, unfactored landing distance x 1.92.

• Otherwise, the assessment should use landing distance data based on the reported Runway Condition
Code (RwyCC) or braking action.

• If landing distance data based on the RwyCC/braking action is not available, FAA’s Landing Distance
Factors may be used ith the AFM dry runway, unfactored landing distance to determine the Landing
Distance Required. These factors incorporate a 15% safety margin.

THE FOLLOWING FACTORS ARE MULTIPLIERS TO THE UNFACTORED

Note 2

Note 1: Runway Descriptions may be found in the RCAM for each runway condition code (RCC) or Braking Action
(refer to AC 91-79).

Note 2: These LDFs apply only to modern turboprops with efficient disking drag. For older turboprops without
adequate disking drag use the Turbojet, No Reverse LDFs.

Note 3: The LDFs can apply to any type of anti-skid system (e.g., fully-modulating, quasi-modulating, or on-off
system). A description of anti-skid systems can be found in the current edition of AC 25-7, Flight Test Guide for
Certification of Transport Category Airplane. This note applies to the whole table.
