slippery rwy's

hello everyone,

without wanting to give any lesson to anyone or being pedantic, here is an advice i came across some years ago, regarding vacating slippery rwy's : suppose you have made a successfull landing on a slippery rwy according to your sop's (medium braking action would be ok, poor would not) . now you have to vacate the rwy. if, with idle thrust, you keep the aircraft rolling even at low speed/low kinetic energy & turn with the nosewheel steering/rudderpedals onto the taxiway, you are at risk of skidding/slipping( into the grass).
the correct technique in this case is to almost stop the aircraft straight ahead on the rwy & in order to turn the aicraft onto the taxiway, need to ADD thrust to keep the aircraft moving. the keypoint is the need to add thrust, opposed as to just rolling off. you will see that in the latter case you won't skid or slip.
happy landings,
bm
