Hi ,

I understand that when they say the runway is wet , it means that you have less than 3 mm of water over the runway , otherwise it is contaminated.

However , I`ve got ATIS with brake actions medium, medium/poor, poor and unreliable which clearly means that the runway is contaminated , but I`ve never heard "Contaminated Runway" as we use to hear "Wet Runway".

So everytime I have a brake action less than medium , I consider it contaminated.

Am I correct? What do you guys think about?
