What RwyCC value defines a WET runway and is described as having GOOD braking action?

Explanation:
Runway Condition Code shows how the surface state affects braking. When rain makes the runway wet but the friction is still good, the code assigned to that condition reflects that favorable braking on a wet surface. That value is five. It specifically communicates that despite the moisture, pilots can expect good braking action. The other codes describe different surface states—drier surfaces, more moisture, or increased contamination—and would imply different braking expectations, not the combination of wet but with good braking action that five conveys.
