The thread on the F100 over run in Newman got me thinking about the Notams in Sydney that have been there for
a long time now. If I had to guess I’d say over 18 months.
Firstly, can anyone here accurately decode them for the benefit of us all?
I understand where the areas of low friction are located on the runway, and that the minimum
value is 0.43 but the way the other numbers are presented could be better.
Secondly, can anyone here shed light on why the situation isn’t remedied? It appears the low friction
areas are in the touchdown zones and that suggests rubber to me but if so, surely the notam wouldn’t
have stuck with us for so long?
Thirdly, with 2207m of landing distance on 16L and 400m of that below minimum friction level, are we
asking for another over-run?
