Out of curiosity from a GA pilot, why isnīt the runway "foamed"? I can imagine a few reasons myself, such as low risk of tank rupture and resulting risk of fire when doing such a "low impact" landing, but Iīm sure there are better reasons.
Would foaming increase the chance of the plane starting to slip and skid?
