What is a wet runway?.
I ask this because i know that on a dry runway the performance figures are fairly easy to calculate. On a Wet runway it is very different,a lot of things to consider.
In F1 racing as soon as drops of water appear it has an effect on performance. Lap times increase until the cars cannot stay on the track.
On another point i believe that they use statistics to help define the regulations. Most take offs are made in dry conditions,some crews may go a very long time before doing a wet take off. So the chance of an engine failure in wet conditions are very low.
Any comments?.
