Excellent writeup on Skybrary. Not too verbose but with the essential learning details. Makes you wonder though, Captain didn't know about wet runway flap requirements (nor, I assume, did the effo challenge him on that; "wood for the trees", perhaps?), PAPI set at 2.39°...
AAAAH!! for those slow aeroplanes like a B747 or a B767 or an A380 ---- the Max8 is right up there with the DH Trident 1.
And, by the way, no greasers in the wet in any aeroplane, unless you want to burn a bleeding great flat spot on tyres, when the wheel doesn't spin up and/or aquaplanes.
Tootle pip!!
