A quick question:
I flew to Manchester yesterday, the ATIS was saying something like: "Part of the TDZ 24R is liable to be slippery when wet" (don't qoute me though), and refering to a NOTAM Which gave a little bit more detail.
For those of you flying into MAN today, was that reference in the ATIS today???
That info combined with the gusts would be quite worrying.
Manchester did indeed have a NOTAM reporting a patch of 24R approx 300m from Threshold as liable to be slippery when wet. It was put in force late on Thursday 11th Jan and cancelled on Wednesday 17th following overnight maintenance work. The affected distance was approx 150m and apparently caused no restrictions for landing or take-off performance.
