Landing on a flodded runway and in heavy rain

[manucordier]

Hi,

I've read that the best course of action when landing on a flooded runway and in heavy rain is to land firmly, lowering the nose wheel as soon as possible in order to obtain all the wheels on the ground for max friction and thus max braking action.

Do you agree ? Do you have any additional info ?

I have read also that you must increase your approach speed . Why is that ?
Is it to prevent the hazardous effect of an eventual windshear or gust which could temporarily decrease the airspeed and provoke a dangerous loss of lift ?

I thought that with a flooded runway it was better to land with the slowest possible airspeed to avoid hydroplaning. Is that right ?

Could someone add more information please ?

Thanks,
Emmanuel Cordier.
