mutt: I find that to be a terrible oversight by the FAA, don't you think that they should schedule this data? I mean even in GA contaminated runways are common, then they go on to try to blame pilots for overruns but without the appropriate tests it seems very unfair. did you ever write to ALPA or other groups concerning this issue and if so what about inciting you're colleagues to do the same. the data exists so why not give it to US pilots?
As an aside I have found this data in one of my books " Cold weather flying" By, Jeff R Griffen 6/10" slush
Type TOW (lbs) Rwy length increase
DC-8 251000 10%
B 707-100 247000 15%
DC-8 296000 14%
B707-300 296000 15%
Convair 880/22M 150000 15%
And: weight reduction:
B 707 140000 -17500
B 727 152000 -19800
B720 180000 -10000
B720 190000 -11000
Caravelle 110000 -11000
I know this is of little help nowadays other than a history lesson
