Re: EGLC - runway wet/wet/wet

Official definitions are:

DAMP The surface shows a change of colour due to moisture.
NOTE: If there is sufficient moisture to produce a surface film or the surface appears reflective, the runway will be reported as WET.
WET The surface is soaked but no significant patches of standing water are visible.
NOTE: Standing water is considered to exist when water on the runway surface is deeper than 3mm. Patches of standing water covering more than 25% of the assessed area will be reported as WATER PATCHES.
WATER PATCHES Significant patches of standing water are visible.
NOTE: Water patches will be reported when more than 25% of the assessed area is covered by water more than 3mm deep.
FLOODED Extensive patches of standing water are visible.
NOTE: Flooded will be reported when more than 50% of the assessed area is covered by water more than 3mm deep.
