Just to make sure nothing gets lost in the translation:

Runway state messagge (referred to as MOTNE above) has the following options

// - not reported, runway not operational
99 - unreliable measurement
00 to 90 - friction coefficient reported
91, 92, 93, 94, 95 - braking action reported
96 to 98 - not used

Conversion from FC to BA for those who need to, correctly provided by Der_dk. Tmbstory and 738 Jockey not entirely correct.

For BA/FC limits (and associated cross-wind contraints!!!) use appropriate FCOM or company manuals if more restrictive. For instance LDG on poor is normally prohibited, but lading on FC 20-25 could be allowed.

OTOH many realise that there is no reliable corelation between reported deceleartion measurement and ad hoc aircraft behaviour. So, for TKOF performance some only use type of deposit and depth. Sometimes the BA/FC is not reported at all in order not to provide false and liable assumtions to operators - which I understand is UK CAA stance now. I am standing by to be soon corrected on this one.
