"Thats the difference between ‘measured’ RCAM and BA reports. A braking action report from a transport category aircraft should carry more weight than RCAM.

RCAM is more for planning, and when actual reports aren’t available. When an A320 reports medium-poor and you have an event like this, the investigation won’t be kind if you attempt to fall back on the RCAM report."

So by that logic if the aircraft in front reports conditions below what is required AND you prioritise the BA over an RCAM you can't land until a greater fool lands after the a320 and provides a better braking report.

Learning lots in this thread. Just trying to work out how to handle all this..... As I head into my first NE US winter season.
