Dynamically determining runway conditions

An apparatus comprising:

• a data module configured to:
• receive, at an airport computing system, data from a first airplane over a network, the received data comprising runway data sampled using a plurality of sensors located on the first airplane while the first airplane is on a runway;
• and
• aggregate, at the airport computing system, the received data from the first airplane with a plurality of runway data sets received from a plurality of other airplanes to generate an aggregated runway data set;
• a parameter module configured to determine, at the airport computing system, one or more parameters that describe a condition for the runway based on the aggregated runway data set;
• and
• a transmission module configured to transmit, from the airport computing system, the one or more parameters to one or more second airplanes over the network,
• wherein at least a portion of said modules comprise one or more of hardware circuits, programmable hardware devices, and processors.
