Braking action advisories are in effect when braking action is described as which levels?

Braking action advisories warn pilots about reduced stopping capability on a runway, so they’re issued whenever braking action is not good. When braking action is described as medium, medium-to-poor, poor, or nil, those conditions signal adverse braking performance and an advisory is in effect. Good or good-to-medium indicate acceptable braking, so no advisory is needed. That’s why the best answer includes medium, poor, and nil—the levels that trigger the advisory. Nil means no braking action at all, which is especially critical, while good and good-to-medium do not warrant an advisory.
