1. JFK AIRPORT Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM)
Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA)
Advisory Circular 150/ D Changes

2. RCAM - Runway Condition Code (RwyCC)
6 – DRY
5 – FROST / WET / (1/8 inch or less)
SLUSH / DRY SNOW / WET SNOW
4 – COMPACT SNOW colder than 5F
3 – SLIPPERY WHEN WET / DRY SNOW or WET SNOW OVER COMPACTED SNOW / 1/8 IN or GREATER of DRY SNOW or WET SNOW / COMPACT SNOW warmer than 5F
2 – Greater than 1/8 IN of WATER / SLUSH
1 – ICE
0 – WET ICE / SLUSH OVER ICE / WATER OVER COMPACTED SNOW / DRY SNOW or WET SNOW OVER ICE

3. PILOT REPORTS (No more FAIR)
Good: Braking deceleration is normal for the wheel braking effort applied, and directional control is normal.
Good-to-Medium: Braking deceleration or directional control is between good and medium braking action.
Medium: Braking deceleration is noticeably reduced for the wheel braking effort applied, or directional control is noticeably reduced.
Medium-to-Poor: Braking deceleration or directional control is between medium and poor.
Poor: Braking deceleration is significantly reduced for the wheel braking effort applied, or directional control is significantly reduced.
Nil: Braking deceleration is minimal to non-existent for the wheel braking effort applied, or directional control is uncertain.

4. Advisory Circular 150/5200-30D Changes
RWY NOTAM only in the active direction
Ex. 4R not 4R/22L
NO FICON PATCHY now percentage
Ex: 10% - 100%

5. Advisory Circular 150/5200-30D Changes
RWY FICON will be in THIRDS when more than 25% coverage; which will generate a Runway Condition Code (RwyCC)
TOUCHDOWN / MIDPOINT/ ROLLOUT
NO FICON THIN must be in depth
Ex: 1/8 inch, 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch

6. Conditions that Close Runways
1/2 IN SLUSH or WET SNOW
