This symposium aims at increasing international awareness in advance of the November 2020 applicability date of the new ICAO methodology for assessing and reporting runway surface conditions. This new methodology, commonly known as the Global Reporting Format (GRF), ensures a harmonized assessment and reporting of runway surface conditions and a correspondingly improved flight crew assessment of take-off and landing performance.
The symposium will be followed by a half-day workshop on 28 March 2019, dedicated to training requirements and resources associated with the new methodology.
TARGET AUDIENCE
The symposium is aimed to all civil aviation authorities, aerodrome operators, aircraft operators, air navigation service providers, aeronautical information service providers and aerospace industry.
PRELIMINARY PROGRAMME OBJECTIVES
