Definitely correct. Our company training emphasised landing in conditions of possible aquaplaning. A firm touchdown is necessary to bang through the water, get the weight onto the wheels by pushing fwd on the stick , select full spoilers and max reverse immediately followed by braking action when the aircraft is firmly on three points.
