Hopefully the report will also comment on the way friction/braking action measurements are taken and reported in the United Kingdom and their correspondance to international practices and regulation. Quite a few of us who have made runway bitumen/asphalt or designed runway surfaces raised an eyebrow at some of the posts regarding alleged measurement practices. There's no point in having a system which does not yield reasonably consistent results (understanding that its a fairly basic test open to wide variability) and more importantly that pilots have confidence in.
