Global Reporting Format (GRF)

Aerosimple's Global Report Format (GRF) enables airfield teams to systematically record runway surface conditions and communicate accurate, standardized runway condition information. The workflow captures conditions across the runway's first, second, and third thirds, providing a clear record of surface description, contamination depth, coverage, and runway condition assessment.

Why it matters

Runway surface conditions can change rapidly due to snow, ice, water, or other contaminants. Accurate and consistent reporting is essential for maintaining situational awareness and supporting safe aircraft operations.

The Global Report Format replaces manual condition recording with a structured digital workflow. Operations teams can select the relevant runway, assess each runway third independently, record contamination characteristics, and maintain a time-stamped record of the reported conditions.

Key features

• Runway-specific condition reporting from a centralized digital form

• Separate assessment of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runway thirds

• Runway surface description selection for each runway section

• Contamination depth recording in millimetres

• Contamination coverage recording using standardized percentage ranges

• Runway Condition Weather Codes (RWYCC) recording for each runway third

• Date and time capture for accurate condition reporting

• Structured, consistent data entry for standardized runway condition assessments

• Digital records for historical review, operational reference, and reporting

Benefits

Improve runway safety by giving airfield operations teams a consistent way to assess and document runway surface conditions. Recording each runway third separately provides a more accurate representation of changing conditions across the runway.

Standardized digital inputs reduce ambiguity and help ensure that critical information such as surface description, contamination depth, coverage, and RWYCC is captured consistently.

Maintain a reliable historical record of runway conditions that can support operational decision-making, reviews, compliance requirements, and trend analysis.

Integrations

Global Report Format data can support broader airfield operations and safety workflows by providing structured runway condition information to teams responsible for runway inspections, operational monitoring, and safety management.

The digital records can also be used alongside other Aerosimple airfield operations capabilities to provide a connected view of runway conditions and related operational activities.
