Grrr

Oh really!!
And how does it do that?
Aquaplaning is a function of the square root of the tyre pressure, and will occur at an almost set speed on each aircraft type, regardless of how firm or otherwise the touchdown was, if there is sufficient standing water.....unless you figure you can make your "firm touchdown" at that speed.
