CPH runway

Am I reading this right?

Up until yesterday mid-day, friction coefficients of about 0.6.

After that, consistently friction coefficients of 0.05.

Problems with the automation, perhaps?

The Obliques indicate 'clearance in progress' so not sure why any braking action reported until complete, like you say probably automatics. How long did this persist for?

Clearly something in an automated chain has broken, and the default entry is not a good one. Must have caused a little alarm for dispatcher, though!
