Interpretation

An operational trial sets ATC criteria for changing from the preferential runway configuration. ATC considers runway and taxiway availability, instrument approaches and landing aids, and significant weather, including steady tailwind above 8 kt or crosswind above 30 kt (excluding gusts), windshear, thunderstorms, and wet or poorly braking runways. Wind components are runway-selection guidelines, not operational limits. Configuration 34R may change to 16L when the surface wind component from northern quadrants remains steadily below 8 kt for at least 10 minutes; the actual change may be delayed until traffic permits. See AIP AD 2 LIRF 1-25.

E) OPERATIONAL TRIAL: CRITERIA FOR RUNWAY SELECTION AND THEIR USE.
IN ORDER TO CHANGE THE RUNWAY CONFIGURATION FROM THE PREFERENTIAL
ONE, ATC WILL CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING ITEMS:
- RWY AND TWY AVAILABILITY
- INSTRUMENT APCH PROCEDURES AND AVAILABILITY OF APCH AND LDG AIDS
- SIGNIFICANT METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS (SURFACE TAILWIND COMPONENT
EXCEEDING 8 KNOTS OF STEADY WIND FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES EXCLUDING
GUSTS, SURFACE CROSSWIND COMPONENT EXCEEDING 30 KNOTS EXCLUDING
GUSTS, WINDSHEAR REPORTED OR FORECAST, THUNDERSTORMS THAT MAY
AFFECT THE APPROACH OR DEPARTURE PHASES, WET RUNWAY CONDITIONS OR
POOR BRAKING ACTION)
- THE SURFACE WIND COMPONENTS ARE NOT TO BE INTENDED AS OPERATIONAL
LIMITS, BUT RATHER AS GUIDELINES FOR ATC RUNWAY SELECTION
- THE RUNWAY CONFIGURATION IN USE 34R MAY BE CHANGED TO
CONFIGURATION 16L WHEN THE SURFACE WIND COMPONENT FROM THE NORTHERN
QUADRANTS IS FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES STEADILY BELOW 8 KNOTS
- IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT WHILE THE TWR PREPARES THE NEW RUNWAY
CONFIGURATION BASED ON THE CONDITIONS, THE ACTUAL CHANGE OF
CONFIGURATION MAY TAKE PLACE LATER, WHEN CURRENT TFC CONDITIONS
PERMIT.
