Hi Icepack.
The problem is that to get on official runway state including breaking action GAL need access to the runway for a mumeter run. It takes 10 minutes in each direction, uninterupted, which therefore has an impact on movement rates. They are very reluctant to do that unless they have to which usually means only in snow or known runway icing conditions.
This came up on another forum. I believe for some of you that means you have to assume the b/a is poor which impacts your landing criteria? Doesn't seem quite right somehow.
