Here we go again:Handling the big jets covers the BCAR (the original WET 15'screen height proponent)..'Aircraft performance Theory for pilots'pj swatton. covers todays EASa rules(exam questions)
As stipulated The US.FAR's now refer to the Wet 15'screen-But only the B777 conforms to the new standard, as no one ,ATA/FAA/Builders would supply the AFM data(Boeing has it at a cost for the offshore operators(non FAA)'B' package)..Under EASA rules one gets 'reverser' credit in the Wet acc/stop operation(Airbus FCOM)..If reversers are inoperative one gets a payload penalty...
The B777 performed the 'actual'tests(flown)on WET runways,unlike 'analysis'
performance which had been added in the passed(SAS DC 9 etc)
cheers.
