An index that is used at Canadian military aerodromes to report the runway coefficient of friction. 2, record 2, English, - James%20Brake%20Index
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
It is determined via a vehicle-mounted decelerometer with a scale that is graduated in increments from 0 to 1. Small numbers represent low braking coefficients of friction while numbers on the order of 0. 8 and above indicate the braking coefficients to be expected on bare and dry runways. JBI charts may be found in the Military Flight Data and Procedures section of the Canada Flight Supplement(CFS). 2, record 2, English, - James%20Brake%20Index

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Il est déterminé grâce à un décéléromètre monté sur un véhicule et dont l'échelle de lecture est graduée de 0 à 1. Une faible valeur correspond à un faible coefficient de frottement alors qu'une valeur de l'ordre de 0,8 ou plus correspond au coefficient de frottement escompté dans le cas d'une piste dégagée et sèche. Les tableaux JBI figurent à la partie «Données et procédures de vol militaire» du Supplément de vol - Canada (CFS). 1, record 2, French, - indice%20de%20d%C3%A9c%C3%A9l%C3%A9ration%20James
