Some general questions

- At what point (...mm water on the RW) does your company assume
aquaplaning? (one of mine used to be >3mm then they went to >1mm)

- What correction does your company require to be made for aquaplaning?

- Does your company require the ship to be 100% for aquaplaning ops?

- Have you ever asked for the runway state on a rainy summer day and been
greeted by surprise (well sir, it is wet) when you really want to know the
depth of water?

- Have you ever asked for the runway state outside of winter ops? Maybe if
we did that more often airfields would become sensibilised.

- Have all the Airbusses now been modified, so that mainwheel spinup on one
side only will cause spoiler deployment?

Thanks,

FC.
