<p>On October 1 Takeoff and Landing Performance Assessment (Talpa) standards that are intended to improve the reliability of runway condition reporting to help reduce the risk of&nbsp; runway overrun accidents and incidents at U.S. airports during inclement weather go into effect. The FAA started developing the standards after a Southwest Boeing 737 landing during a snowstorm ran off the end of the runway at Chicago Midway Airport and into a city street in December 2005. The accident killed a child in a car. Under the new method, ATC communicates runway conditions to pilots in terms that relate directly to the way a particular aircraft is expected to perform so that an operator has effective information to anticipate braking performance.</p>
