• Regulation (EU) 2020/2148 found in: Aerodromes (139/2014) Part-ADR.AR Part-ADR.OR Part-ADR.OPS CS-ADR-DSN CS-HPT-DSN (Jun 2023)

ADR.OPS.B.036 Operations on specially prepared winter runways Delegated Regulation (EU) 2020/2148 (a) An aerodrome operator may, subject to the prior approval of the competent authority, establish and use procedures for the operation of aeroplanes on specially prepared winter runways, when the contaminant type is compacted snow or ice. Specially prepared winter runways may be associated with primary RWYCC 4; however, if treatment does not justify a RWYCC 4, the normal procedure in accordance with [point ADR.OPS.B.037](#_DxCrossRefBm1800047265) shall apply. (b) In order to obtain prior approval by the competent authority, the aerodrome operator shall: (1) establish procedures which include the following: (i) the type of equipment or the type, the quality and the quantity of the material, or both, which are used to improve runway surface condition and method of application; (ii) monitoring the meteorological parameters; (iii) management of loose contaminants; (iv) assessment of the achieved results; (2) obtain aeroplane data that relates to stopping performance on the runway with the special treatment from at least one aeroplane operator; (3) analyse and process the data obtained under point (2), in order to demonstrate the capability to establish runway conditions in accordance with a given RWYCC; (4) establish a maintenance programme that covers both preventive and corrective maintenance for equipment which is used in order to achieve consistent performance. (c) The aerodrome operator shall establish and implement a programme to monitor the continuous effectiveness of the procedure. The programme shall use braking action reports from aeroplane data that shall be compared with the reported runway conditions. (d) The aerodrome operator shall evaluate the performance of winter operations after the end of the winter period in order to identify necessity for: (1) additional training requirements; (2) update of the procedures; (3) additional or different equipment and materials.
