“What would you do if landing on a wet runway with a strong crosswind you started to drift downwind off the runway?”
Perhaps the best advice is not to be there in the first place. This is easier said than done given the many pitfalls of reporting wind (and runway condition) identified in the report on
Safety aspects of aircraft operations in crosswind; it is an excellent reference for the problems arising from crosswinds. The report should be read in conjunction with
Safety aspects of aircraft performance on wet and contaminated runways (2001) and
Safety aspects of tailwind operations.
Airbus recommendations are given in their
Briefing Notes. See Flight Operations, Landing Techniques, Crosswind Landings.
A general overview of landing safety is in
ALAR and
Approach and Landing.
The thread is titled Aquaplaning, but the question is not necessarily restricted to this condition. The link on Contaminated Runways has a good section on ‘Hydroplaning’ in section 2.3. followed by ‘Directional Control’ in section 2.4. Note that recovery actions such as those described by manufacturers will “greatly increase the stopping distance on a contaminated runway”, quote from the report.
Beware of large pitch control movements on the runway. There has been several threads discussing the pros and cons of forward control movement; as always follow the manufacturer’s advice.
