Slippery when wet

[break dancer]

This was brought up on another thread but should be addressed on its own.

EK have changed the requirements for grooved runways due to a circular from the UK CAA which goes on about grooved runways loosing their effectiveness over a period of time due to the grooves filling with rubber deposits. Makes sense to me.

The bigger issue here is how EK disseminated such important performance information. A revision to be collected with a small black line to show a change.....

Another takeoff incident and who'll be to blame this time around

With FCI's coming thick and fast about every other little thing, it certainly would have been worthy of at least an FCN!

As I see it nothing has changed - the FCI deleted specific info from the FOM that is now found (where it should be) in FCOM 2 (2.04.10 pg 2 to be specific for the mini bus).:ok:

The reason for the change I think is explained here:
