slush
- Definição1
- Water-saturated snow which with a heel-and-toe slap-down motion against the ground will be displaced with a splatter; specific gravity: 0.5 up to 0.8.
- Fonte1
- INTERNATIONAL CIVIL AVIATION ORGANIZATION. Annex 14 to the Convention on International Civil Aviation: aerodromes: volume 1: aerodrome design and operation. 8th ed. Montreal, 2018. (Annex 14).
- Nota Adicional1
- Combinations of ice, snow and/or standing water may, especially when rain, rain and snow, or snow is falling, produce substances with specific gravities in excess of 0.8. These substances, due to their high water/ice content, will have a transparent rather than a cloudy appearance and, at the higher specific gravities, will be readily distinguishable from slush.
- Contexto
- Snow, slush, ice, standing water, mud, dust, sand, oil, rubber deposits and other contaminants shall be removed from the surface of runways in use as rapidly and completely as possible to minimize accumulation.
