What is the landing factor for a wet runway?
What is the landing factor for a wet runway? Runway Conditions The following landing distance factors are typical: Wet runway: 1.3 to 1.4; • Standing-water or slush-contaminated runway: 2.0 to 2.3; • Compacted-snow-covered runway: 1.6 to 1.7; and, • Icy runway: 3.5 to 4.5.
What is 1.67 landing distance?
For a predicted dry runway condition the AFM dry distance is factored (multiplied) by 1.67 to achieve the 60% Dry factored landing distance. This longer distance is compared to LDA.
Why is screen height 15 feet for wet runway?
The reason why screen height for class A aircraft reduces from 35 ft to 15 ft on a wet runway is because of reduced V. On a wet runway, V1 reduces in order to allow for reduced braking capability.
What are the four types of runways?
The basic configurations are (1) single runways, (2) parallel runways, (3) intersecting runways, and (4) open-V runways.
