Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment
Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) is a method used by airport operators to determine runway conditions for take-off and landing. It produces a Field Condition report which allows pilots to determine braking action when the runway is not dry.
TALPA assessment produces a Runway Condition Code (RWYCC) from 6 to 0, where 6 is Dry.
Runway condition codes
| Runway condition code | Landing braking action |
|---|---|
| 6 | Dry |
| 5 | Good |
| 4 | Good to Medium |
| 3 | Medium |
| 2 | Medium to Poor |
| 1 | Poor |
