Of course you are assuming that the wet or dry call is water. Today we had a damp runway, damp with the remains of de-icing fluid. With the bright sunshine we had, the surface gained a sheen but was not wet....
Sorry to add to the confusion.
Quite often the runway will dry out before it is inspected so there is a lag there. I've seen runways with all three sectors having a different call Dry, Damp, Wet.
Damp, Dry, Damp.
Dry, Wet, Dry etc. etc.
Some days are just a nightmare dependent on the weather conditions for the day.
At the end of the day we call it for the Pilot. So, if he wants it rechecking that's what he gets.
