Definition

The surface condition report event scenario describes information about contaminations on one or multiple runways, taxiways and/or aprons at one airport.

...

  • AirportHeliport BASELINE as specified in the Basic Data for Airport/Heliport,

  • Runway BASELINE according to the coding rules for Basic Data for Runway;

  • Taxiway BASELINE which contains as a minimum a designator and an association with the AirportHeliport; (warning)No AIP Data Set coding rules identified.

  • Apron BASELINE which contains as a minimum a designator and an association with the AirportHeliport; (warning)No AIP Data Set coding rules identified.

...

system shall automatically identify the FIR where the AirportHeliport is located. This shall be coded as corresponding concernedAirspace property in the Event

Identifier

Data encoding rule

ER-01

The surface condition report shall be encoded as:

  • a new Event with a BASELINE TimeSlice ( scenario=”SFC.CON”, version=”2.0”), for which a PERMDELTA TimeSlice may also be provided; and

  • a TimeSlice of type TEMPDELTA for each affected Runway and AirportHeliport feature, for which the "event:theEvent" property points to the Event instance created above.
  • if applicable, additional TEMPDELTA TimeSlices for the affected Taxiway and/or Apron features as detailed below. Such TimeSlice shall have the "event:theEvent" property points to the Event instance created above.
ER-02

The TimeSlice.validTime of the affected Features TEMPDELTAs, the EventTimeSlice.validTime and EventTimeSlice.featureLifetime shall have TimePeriod.beginPosition equal to the latest Runway/RunwayContamination.observationTime.

Reason: When reporting on more than one runway and individual dates/times of observation/assessment are indicated by repeated Item B, the latest date/time of observation/assessment is inserted in the abbreviated heading. This is considered the start of the SNOWTAM validity.

ER-03

The TimeSlice.validTime of the affected Features TEMPDELTAs, the EventTimeSlice.validTime and EventTimeSlice.featureLifetime shall have TimePeriod.endPosition set 8h after the TimePeriod.beginPosition.

Reason: Maximum SNOWTAM validity is 8h.

ER-04

All three sections (thirds) shall always be present and each of the following values shall only be used once for the Runway/RunwaySectionContamination.section:

  • 1_THIRD
  • 2_THIRD
  • 3_THIRD


ER-05

Only the following values are allowed for Runway/RunwaySectionContamination.frictionEstimation:

  • OTHER:RWYCC_0
  • OTHER:RWYCC_1
  • OTHER:RWYCC_2
  • OTHER:RWYCC_3
  • OTHER:RWYCC_4
  • OTHER:RWYCC_5
  • OTHER:RWYCC_6


ER-06

Only the following values shall be used for Runway/RunwaySectionContamination/SurfaceContaminationLayer.type:

  • COMPACT_SNOW
  • DRY_SNOW
  • FROST
  • ICE
  • SLUSH

  • OTHER:DRY

  • OTHER:STANDING_WATER
  • OTHER:SLIPPERY_WET (Note: EASA)
  • OTHER:PREPARED_WINTER_RUNWAY (Note: EASA)
  • OTHER:WET
  • OTHER:WET_ICE
  • WET_SNOW


ER-07

Only the following values shall be used for Runway/overallContaminant/SurfaceContaminationLayer.type:

  • OTHER:DRIFTING_SNOW
  • OTHER:LOOSE_SAND
  • OTHER:CHEMICAL_TREATMENT


ER-08

In case of multiple Runway/RunwaySectionContamination/SurfaceContaminationLayer.layerOrder, only the following combinations are allowed:

  • layerOrder='1', type='DRY_SNOW' and layerOrder='2', type='COMPACT_SNOW'
  • layerOrder='1', type='DRY_SNOW' and layerOrder='2', type='ICE'
  • layerOrder='1', type='OTHER:STANDING_WATER' and layerOrder='2',type='COMPACT_SNOW'
  • layerOrder='1', type='WET_SNOW' and layerOrder='2', type='COMPACT_SNOW'
  • layerOrder='1', type='WET_SNOW' and layerOrder='2', type='ICE'
ER-09

The maximum value of Runway/RunwaySectionContamination/SurfaceContaminationLayer.layerOrder is 2.

ER-10snowbanks adjacent to the runway shall be encoded as Runway/RunwayContamination/Ridge.annotation with purpose='WARNING' and note='Snowbanks present adjacent to the runway'
ER-11

When snowbanks are present on the runway, their presence shall be encoded as Runway.overallContaminant.RunwayContamination.criticalRidge/Ridge.side='LEFT', 'RIGHT' or 'BOTH'


When Runway/RunwayContamination/Ridge.distance is provided, a Ridge.annotation shall be encoded with propertyName='distance', purpose='DESCRIPTION' and note='distance measured from runway centerline'

The AIXM definition of the element is being a distance measured from the edge of the movement area and not from its centreline, therefore an interpretation rule is needed.

ER-12If the assessment is including Taxiway information, TEMPDELTA TimeSlices shall be encoded for each affected Taxiway Feature.
ER-13Snowbanks present on the taxiway shall be encoded as Taxiway/TaxiwayContamination/Ridge.annotation with purpose='WARNING' and note='Snowbanks present on the taxiway'.
ER-14If the assessment is including Apron information, TEMPDELTATimeSlices shall be encoded for each affected Apron Feature.
ER-15

Only the following values shall be used for Runway/RunwayContamination.frictionDevice:

  • GRT
  • MUM
  • BRD
  • RFT
  • SFH
  • SFL
  • SKH
  • SKL
  • TAP


ER-16In case items are NOT REPORTED - "NR",  xsi:nil="true" nilReason="inapplicable" shall be used.
ER-17The ER-18The AirportHeliport concerned by the closure surface condition report shall also be coded as concernedAirportHeliport property in the Event.
