first time in the rain
I would like to relate to you all this episode I had last sunday while doing circiuts:I was into my 6th circuit at Seletar airport in Singapore[WSSL].ATC came on tho adivse of WX warning.We dicided to terminate the session and do a full stop.From my position ,early downwind I looked down at the threshold and observed the rain already sweeping over that end of the runway.
Now on finals, I actually had trouble see the threshold of rwy 03.
By the time we were over the threshold there was a deludge of rain awashing the windscreen.I had trouble seeing the runway but could just make out the edge light through the rain.Now deep in the flare, I could make out the centre line but I felt a real sense of disorientation by the effect of rain water on the runway surface moving across my vision from right to left.It was a real weired expreience.And later while taxing to park we stopped for after landing checks and I had to fight myself to ignore the effect of wated sweeping across the tarmac -it presented the illusion of movement even though we were stationary.
