Slippery when wet

This was brought up on another thread but should be addressed on its own.

EK have changed the requirements for grooved runways due to a circular from the UK CAA which goes on about grooved runways loosing their effectiveness over a period of time due to the grooves filling with rubber deposits. Makes sense to me.

The bigger issue here is how EK disseminated such important performance information. A revision to be collected with a small black line to show a change.....

Another takeoff incident and who'll be to blame this time around
