When a runway use program is in effect, the selected runway must which of the following?

• A. Be dry
• B. Be more than 5,000 feet long
• C. Have braking action reported as 'GOOD'
• D. Have ATIS available

Answer: (C)

When a runway use program is in effect, the runway you select must have braking action reported as GOOD. That means pilots have reported the surface offers sufficient friction for normal landing braking and rollout, even with current conditions. This safety requirement ensures the chosen runway can be used reliably without unexpected braking limitations. Dryness, runway length, or having ATIS available are not the controlling factors for a runway use program, whereas good braking action directly relates to whether the surface can safely support use under those conditions.
