Civilian Airports / Field Conditions
Field Condition (FICON) Reporting
Runway assessments, draft FICON wording, and a condition ledger with recorded dissemination, restrictions, and restoration.
Request a demoA condition report needs both an assessment and a communication record
An observation describes what is on the runway. Operations also needs to know what was communicated, whether an authorized restriction is active, and what supports restoration.
Field Conditions connects runway assessments with the Airport Condition & Restriction Ledger. Snow & Ice and Construction extend that workspace to seasonal and project work.
From the observation to documented follow-up
Assess the runway as it is
Record contaminant, depth, coverage, and observation time for the runway thirds. Codes are derived where applicable; an unassessed runway shows no active report.
Prepare and review FICON wording
Generate draft wording from the assessment for review and use in the authorized FAA channel. Glidepath does not submit the NOTAM.
Record dissemination and restrictions
The condition ledger retains exact messages and external NOTAM identifiers. Restrictions require a separate authorized activation; filing a condition does not activate one.
Verify restoration and retain history
Link corrective work, completed condition checks, closing dissemination, and restoration evidence. New assessments supersede prior reports while preserving their history.
What it automates
Unknown conditions stay visible
No active report is not represented as a dry runway or a current assessment.
Communication has evidence
The ledger retains what was actually sent, through which channel, and its external reference.
Closure has a documented basis
Corrective-action completion, restriction authorization, and condition restoration remain distinct steps.
Straight answers
What shows when a runway has no active report?
Conditions are not currently assessed. Glidepath does not assume a dry runway or publish a default condition-code triplet.
Does Glidepath publish the FICON NOTAM?
No. It prepares wording for review. The airport submits through an authorized channel and records the external identifier and dissemination evidence.
Does every assessment receive a runway condition code?
No. Code assignment depends on the assessed conditions and coverage. A report can retain contaminant information without assigning codes.
Does a new report erase the earlier one?
No. A new report supersedes the previous assessment. Issuance, updates, and cancellations remain in the retained history.
