Abstract
A device and associated method for determining an airport runway state includes a device that determines a runway state and is placed on board an aircraft. The device collects measured deceleration data of the aircraft during taxiing of the aircraft on the runway. Then at least one runway state is estimated from the collected data, and the estimate is transmitted to another aircraft or to a broadcasting center during the other aircraft's runway approach.
