Current Situation -- Contaminated Runways Operations Conventional assessment methods Can be subjective Can be challenged by pilot reports Inconsistency across measurement means Runway condition is used at landing By crews for landing distance computation By airport operators for runway management Need for a means to evaluate how slippery the runway is, that is: Objective Timely Non-intrusive and consistent with aircraft performance 3 Friends and Partners of Aviation Weather, Fall 2015, Las Vegas, NV19 November 2015

CORSAIR analyzes the landing performance and then chooses a corresponding TALPA runway state which is consistent with the aircraft performance 5 6-DRY 5-GOOD 4-GOOD TO MEDIUM 3-MEDIUM 2-MEDIUM TO POOR 1-POOR CORSAIR ANALYSIS TALPA LEVEL Friends and Partners of Aviation Weather, Fall 2015, Las Vegas, NV19 November 2015 CORSAIR algorithm is based on proven process Use same models as the one established during aircraft certification Only difference is the industrialization of the process in order to analyze mass data in near real-time Same process as the In-Flight Landing distance, but in reverse! CORSAIR has already been significantly tested Over the last three winters, partnership developed with 6 airlines Over 200,000 flights analyzed

Way Ahead for more Safety at Landing 8 Equipped aircraft will provide up-to-date information on the slipperiness of the runway at each landing Airports will be able to follow the trend of the runway and determine more efficiently when cleaning is needed Airlines informed of current weather conditions can plan operations accordingly Pilot is able to calculate an in-flight landing distance using more accurate information on the runway conditions Friends and Partners of Aviation Weather, Fall 2015, Las Vegas, NV19 November 2015
