Special Remarks That May be Appended to the Remarks Section
Runway Condition Reporting (RSC & RCR) — Runway condition, when reported, will include
two parts, the RSC (runway surface condition), and the RCR (runway condition reading) as
determined by the airfield manager or operations officer. The following RSCs describe the
runway condition:
WR Wet runway
SLR
Slush on the runway
LSR
Loose snow on the runway
PSR
Packed snow on the runway
IR
Ice on the runway
RCRNR
Base Operations closed
The RCR is a 2-digit number giving an average decelerometer reading from 02 to 25 (Table 6-4).
Two slants (//) will be entered when the runway is wet, slush-covered, or when no decelerometer
reading is available.
