Airbus FCOM 2 Section 4 used to define Contaminated as a runway with
>3mm of standing water, slush etc. Then a few years ago (3'ish) an amendment came out with the insertion of the word "or"

Thus: Contaminated being a runway with or > 3mm of standing water, slush...

As has been stated previously, with marginal conditions, I would suggest good airmanship would always assume the more limiting condition.

Howazabout taking off on r/w 36 with reported w/v 260-280/5kts? Zilch w/c, or a tad of tail?
