107 The results of performance evaluations described in Chapter 12 may indicate a need to invest in new or additional equipment to reduce SRE runway occupancy time. SRE runway occupancy time, or the time a runway is closed for snow and ice removal operations and subsequent pavement friction testing, is a commonly used measure of SRE performance.

108 A Guidebook for Airport Winter Operations 13.1 FAA Guidance on SRE Procurement Advisory Circular 150/5220-20, Airport Snow and Ice Control Equipment, represents FAA's current guidance for procuring the minimum SRE for commercial service and non-commercial service airports, as well as for procuring snow and ice removal equipment to meet the snow clearance time requirements of AC 150/5200-30, Airport Winter Safety and Operations, presented in Table 13-1. Spreadsheet tools based on both ACs are available from FAA regional offices and state agencies, and are accessible through the Internet.

110 A Guidebook for Airport Winter Operations 13.4 Estimate SRE Needs to Reduce Snow Removal Capacity Shortfall Once the runway snow clearing capacity shortfall is identified, AC 150/5220-20 can be used to assist with estimating additional equipment required to provide increased snow clearing capacity. It should be noted that the equations presented in the AC discount the capacities of SRE through the inclusion of an efficiency factor.
