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 Parameter | Example | Description |
---|---|---|
ICAODesignator | NZWN | A supported ICAO airport code (upper case). See table below for valid codes. This parameter is Mandatory. |
runwayDesignator | 34 | The 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.
