mcdhu “ … it's 'actual' that you now consider (in the air). The FAA mandate a 'factor' of an additional 15% which Europe has yet to embrace, …”

IIRC the FAA mandating action (post Midway accident) was deferred, all that exists is the recommendation for “Landing Performance Assessments at Time of Arrival (Turbojets)” in SAFO06012.
Is this ‘recommendation still ‘live’; what’s the current position with FAA rulemaking?

Europe on the other hand has had a mandate to use contaminated landing data in JAR/EU Ops for some time, which includes a 15% margin. Perhaps the FAA are still in catch-up mode.
