Runway reports
The Odd One,
Yep - "wet" is the worst Iīve heard in the UK. Never heard "flooded". I have even approached in a teeming downpour to a field near London and asked for the runway state. "It's wet", they said.
Well I could see that! What I wanted to know is whether there was standing water and how much - exactly because of the X Wind factor.
I had to hold off while they went to look.
I guess we pilots are to blame because we donīt ask that question much and too many just land anyway.
Greetings,
FC.
