What is runway friction?
In this glossary, runway friction refers to: Measurement of friction coefficient between tires and runway; indicates braking performance.
How is runway friction used in aviation?
In aviation communication, this term appears in contexts such as: "Runway friction measured at 0.30 mid‑field, request confirmation this supports landing calculation."
Why does runway friction matter in aviation?
runway friction matters because it supports clear communication in Meteorology contexts for Pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, and Cabin Crew. It also connects to aviation training and exam language such as ICAO Level 4, ICAO Level 5, ICAO Level 6, and EASA FCL.055.
Who uses runway friction?
runway friction is mainly used by Pilots, Air Traffic Controllers, and Cabin Crew.
