FAA TALPA / RCAM Surface Matrix

Contaminated Runway Landing Distance Calculator

Calculate landing rollout distances on contaminated surfaces. Select FAA Runway Condition Codes (RWYCC 1–6) for rain, slush, snow, and ice, including 15% safety dispatch factors.

FAA TALPA / RCAM Runway Surface Condition

Total Required Runway Length (With 15% Buffer)
3,416 ft

Factored ground roll: 2,970 ft (Multiplier: 1.35x) + 446 ft FAA safety buffer.

Reported Braking Action:Good
Hydroplaning Hazard: LowWet runway requires at least 35% increased landing distance over dry unfactored distance.

Contaminated Runway FAQs

Everything you need to know about cash runway, burn rates, and financial planning.

The FAA Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) initiative introduced the Runway Condition Assessment Matrix (RCAM). It replaces subjective pilot braking action reports with objective Runway Condition Codes (RWYCC from 0 to 6) based on contaminant type, depth, and temperature.
