21 Take Off and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA)

The Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (TALPA) initiative reduces the risk of runway overruns by providing airport operators with a method to accurately and consistently determine runway conditions when a paved runway is not dry. Airports use TALPA procedures to conduct runway assessments and to report those conditions to aircraft.

21.1 Latest for an Airport

Request the latest TALPA for an airport and runway. See tables below for supported airport (ICAO code) and associated runways.

GET /aviation/observations/talpa/airport/{ICAODesignator}/runway/{runwayDesignator}/latest

21.1.1 API Call:

GET /aviation/observations/talpa/airport/{ICAODesignator}/runway/{runwayDesignator}/latest

21.1.2 Path Parameters:

Path ParameterExampleDescription
ICAODesignatorNZWNA supported ICAO airport code (upper case).

See table below for valid codes.

This parameter is Mandatory.
runwayDesignator34The runway heading as defined by official publications.

See table below for valid codes.

This parameter is Mandatory.

21.1.3 Example:

This example would return the latest TALPA for Wellington Airport for Runway 34.

GET /aviation/observations/talpa/airport/NZWN/runway/34/latest

        }
    ]
}
