Meteorology

The purpose is to create a shared understanding of weather-related or delayed

conditions that may affect flight safety.

The Global Reporting Format

is primarily used to describe

runway conditions (e.g., ice,

snow, water on the runway)

and weather conditions,

allowing pilots and air traffic

controllers to quickly obtain
precise information about

the actual conditions at a given airport.

Below is how the runway is assessed in the GRF format:

Pilots are informed

of the RCR content

through SNOWTAM
or, in summer

conditions with

STANDING WATER,

via a NOTAM and

directly from the ATS

unit, including ATIS.
