100

The distance between runway edge lights

200'

100

that narrowest portion of the runway width that has been cleared of contaminants

Cleared width

100

the name of the liquid spread by the epoke

what is potassium acetate?

100
two conditions where runway friction can be measured.

Ice and wet ice (just not too wet)

100

the call sign of the loader

what is 150

200

Total runway distance

8000'

200

means the average of friction measurements taken on runway surfaces with freezing or frozen contaminants present, using a mechanical or electronic decelerometer.

Canadian Runway Friction Index

200

the name of the solid chemical we spread with epoke

urea

200

two more contaminants which friction can be measured.

Compact snow and slush on ice

200

the newest piece of heavy equipment at the airport

Supra Blower

300

the Runway protected area distance from pavement edge.

what is 200'

300

means ice crystals formed from airborne moisture on a surface whose temperature is below freezing. Frost differs from ice in that the frost crystals grow independently and therefore have a more granular texture . Information note: Below freezing refers to air temperature equal to or less than the freezing point of water (0 degree celsius)

what is frost

300

the material that is never used on airside and is kept seperate from airside material

what is salt

300

two contaminants that mean CRFI readings CANNOT be taken.

The runway surface is wet but there is no other contaminant; b. On the runway surface there is a layer of slush but no other contaminant; c. On the runway surface there is wet snow that, when stepped on or driven on, splatters, turns to slush or results in the presence of visible water; or d. On the runway surface there is dry snow or wet snow that exceeds 2.5 cm (one inch) in depth.

300

the maximum wear of truck tires on the runway inspection vehicle

75%

400

These green inset lights go across the runway.

Displaced threshold lights

400

means a primary runway system that is determined by the prevailing wind or operational requirements and is cleared throughout a storm to maintain the operational

what is priority 1 area

400

At the commencement of the published AMSCR hours,

b.

A minimum of once every eight hours thereafter,

c.

When a significant change in a runway surface condition occurs

d.

Following every accident or incident in which winter conditions may have been a factor, and

e.

Whenever the cleared width of the runway falls below full width.

When we issue AMSCR's

400

The distance between brake applications when measuring CRFI

what is 1000' or 300m

400

the location you need to park before calling on from pavement

in front of shop or firehall

500

the number of runway diplacement centreline arrows.

what is three.

500

means with respect to runway surface condition includes but is not limited to: changes in type of contaminant, such as from dry snow to wet snow; measurable changes in depth of contaminant; following the application or removal of sand or chemicals; following snow removal or sweeping; changes in conditions caused by rapid increases or decreases in temperature

What is significant change

500

.40 or less

what are CRFI averages that must be reported immediately via radio to FSS.
