The National Transportation Safety Board's investigation of the fatal airplane accidents involving an Air Florida B-737 at Washington, D.C., on January 13, 1982, and a World Airways McDonnell-Douglas DC-10 at Boston, Massachusetts, on January 23, 1982, focused on the performance capabilities of airplanes while taking off and landing on contaminated runways. These accidents and the accident investigation experience of the Safety Board demonstrated that dealing with the issue of airplane performance in the face of adverse airport conditions is influenced by many elements in the airport-airline-air traffic control relationship. The Safety Board's special investigation examined the issues of maintenance of runway surfaces, the measurement and reporting of runway friction values, the exchange of runway information among ATC, airport personnel and pilots, the airplane certification criteria for operation on contaminated runways, the capability of existing technology to measure runway friction accurately, and the technology available to monitor airplane acceleration.
