Question What guidance was/is available to the Pilot's?

The following is from the Aircraft Operating Manual for a similar weight and configuration aircraft from a different manufacturer. I've added the bolding for emphasis. One of the previous posters indicated that as ATC, they simply report the presence of standing water.



I offer this purely to ask, was similar guidance in the F100 manuals, if not, why not; and, why hadn't CASA picked up on it, or the Company SMS?



The pilot's can only do what they're trained to do.





Without measured runway water depths, on runways with standing water, use the following information to determine the possibility of hydroplaning:
  • Rain reported as light - Dynamic hydroplaning unlikely, but viscous and reverted hydroplaning possible.
  • Rain reported as moderate - All types of hydroplaning are possible. Smooth tires will likely hydroplane.
  • Rain reported as heavy - Hydroplaning will occur.
