RCAM is used to categorize runway conditions for pilots to interpret. The primary audience for this information is:

• A. Pilots operating aircraft on or near the runway
• B. Air traffic controllers only
• C. Airport security personnel
• D. Airline revenue management teams

Answer: (A)

RCAM categorizes runway conditions so pilots can interpret how the surface will affect braking and controllability during takeoff, landing, and rollout. The information is designed for flight crews who must make real-time decisions about go/no-go, speed, and braking strategy as they operate on or near the runway. While air traffic controllers and other personnel may reference RCAM to manage safety and flow, the primary users are the pilots operating aircraft on or near the runway.
