This report has been prepared in support of the new CAP683 Procedures for Runway Friction Classification and Monitoring. It was commissioned by the Civil Aviation Authority Safety Regulation Group (CAA-SRG) to provide the background information to some of the guidance provided in CAP683. In particular the derivation of the published levels for Minimum Friction Level, Maintenance Planning Level and Design Objective Level are given. The information set out in this Report is intended to be applied by those with experience in the measurement and interpretation of runway friction data. This Report provides details of the background to some of the new information provided in CAP683 including: Review of the derivation of existing criteria defining Friction Levels for runways, establishment of new Minimum Friction Levels for runways tested with the Mu-Meter and GripTester machines, review of the procedures for the measurement of friction, and review of the methods of analysis and reporting of friction.
