What are the RCR readings for dry runway conditions?

The RCR readings for dry runway conditions typically refer to the Runway Condition Report, which measures the friction level available on the runway surface. For dry runway conditions, the standard RCR value is 23. This figure is indicative of optimal stopping and handling performance, ensuring that pilots have a clear understanding of the runway's surface traction.

A value of 23 not only serves as an industry standard but also reflects conditions expected in well-maintained and free of contaminants, thus providing pilots the confidence that their aircraft will perform as intended during takeoff and landing. Understanding these values helps ensure safety and efficiency in flight operations, especially during training or transition phases as seen in T-6A operations.
