Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) is a method used by airport operators to determine runway conditions for takeoff and landing. It produces a Field Condition report that allows pilots to assess braking action when the runway is not dry.

TALPA assessment generates a Runway Condition Code (RWYCC) ranging from 6 to 0, where 6 indicates a dry runway and 0 signifies nil conditions, meaning braking action is minimal to non-existent.

Separate runway condition codes are published for each third of a runway, and pilots use a Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM) to calculate their aircraft performance.[1]

TALPA was introduced by the United States Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) in 2016.[1] The TALPA matrix was later superseded by the ICAO Global Reporting Format (GRF), which was based on TALPA and adopted on 4 November 2021.
