Remind me please --- Square root of the tyre pressure ( in psi) multiplied by 9. Answer in Kts or MPH?

So aquaplaning will always be hazardous on take off or landing when there is unbroken surface water. Also do you know where the spray is mostly directed from your nose wheel/s?

New types, for certification, often have to run nose wheel/s through sheets of water. Results may require use of chined tyres if there is risk of having the fires go out.

Not game to try a touch down and go round with a heavy on a smooth lake.

Handy to know the answer to the formula as applied to your car or the one you are pax.
