When a runway use program is in effect, the selected runway must...

Explanation:
Runway Use Programs rely on current braking action information to determine which runway can be safely used. The chosen runway must have braking action reported as GOOD, because this indicates acceptable deceleration and predictable stopping performance for landing and rollout. With GOOD braking action you can rely on standard landing distances and proper sequencing. If braking action were NIL or otherwise poor, that runway would not be designated for use under the program, since the safety margin would be insufficient. Requiring braking action reporting ensures pilots have the essential information to plan and execute landings safely.
