Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM)

The RCAM is the method an airport operator uses to assess and report conditions on a runway surface when contaminants are present. Use of the RCAM is only applicable to paved runway surfaces. Once an assessment has been performed, the RCAM defines the format by which the airport operator reports and determines a Runway Condition Code “RwyCC”(when applicable).
