Contexto
A measure of the seriousness of the situation is indicated by the action of national airworthiness authorities in recommending that the landing distance requirement on a wet runway be greater than that on the same runway when it is dry. Further problems associated with the take-off of jet aeroplanes from slush- or water-covered runways include performance deterioration due to the contaminant drag effect, as well as the airframe damage and engine ingestion problem.
On a wet runway, μmax is also dependent on runway texture. A higher microtexture (roughness) will improve the friction. A high macrotexture, PFC or surface grooving will add drainage benefits; however it should be noted that the aircraft stopping performance will not be the same as on a dry runway. Conversely, runways polished by aircraft operations or contaminated by rubber deposits or where texture is affected by rubber deposits after repeated operations can become very slippery.
