How Braking Action Computation Function (BACF+) works

Use the data measured by the aircraft during its deceleration roll to identify the braking action level…

Actual braking performance

Braking Phase
Reference Aircraft Performance Model

DRY GOOD GOOD to MED MED MED to POOR POOR

BACF+ compares what the aircraft did versus what the aircraft would have done for
each reference runway state to find the best match

How Braking Action Computation Function (BACF+) works

…and, the runway state becomes available to the pilot on a dedicated MCDU page

Feedback to the Pilot

Situational awareness about how slippery the runway was
and where

Aid for PIREP

BACF+ is Reliable
Winter season feedback

Pilot feedback: 88% of the pilots reported that BACF+ is helpful

in determining the braking action for PIREP. They confirmed the
need to well understand the data as the aircraft identify a portion
of the runway. The airport must be responsible to provide a
consolidated data (even if a portion is POOR, between 2 exits
for example, the aircraft may be able to land)

What are the benefits? Why share data?

Pilot awareness of slippery conditions

Objective feedback for Pilot Braking Action Report
Awareness of slippery conditions, risk management within route network

Compliant with the new Global Reporting Format mandatory on Nov 2020
Real-time information about runway condition trends
No impact on airport traffic
Optimize runway closures and cleaning based on slippery conditions
Optimize use of de-icing chemicals for slippery areas of runway

Awareness of current runway braking action

Collaboration with airport on slippery conditions and runway closures

Why is BACF+ free for Airbus Operators?

The Safety Benefit of this technology can only be realized with a

mass adoption of the onboard software

The value is not in one message, it is from the combination of 100s

of messages

Therefore Airbus & NAVBLUE decided to make the onboard

software FOC, provided that airlines share the data with the
RunwaySense platform
