Reports contaminant type(s) per runway 3rd with– Coverage per contaminant (average+max)– Depth of contaminant layer (average+max)

Proposes RWCC for each runway 3rd + RCR/SNOWTAM string (aeroplane performance calculation part)– To be confirmed or modified by the trained

observer

Optional full recording of runway assessment and results, incl. video images + color-coded maps
