trouble with the description of runway conditions is that of course it can be very subjective-we use both ops people and the firemen for inspections, and to be honest the runway state can differ just depending on who is out there-and yes its worse case when trying to decide between damp and wet-we have more discussions about this perhaps than about whether its moderate or heavy rain! my guess is that we probably do overstate the amount of contamination, but thats just human nature I suppose
