Thanks - some more references. At least the JAA seems to show some interest in the matter too.

You are completely right. Many of the factors you point out will be included in my compilation. It is exactly the real world things that i'm trying to adress with that work.
To give an insight in various formulas to pilots but also to give some advice. I'm in contact with various captains from 747, MD11, A310 which will help with their accounts and insights in aquaplaning. I learned that it is ways more common but usually ends in - geeeeee that was close incidents which never show up except in the memories of the two people (or three) in the cockpit that actually saw how close it went.
As for the physics part - I'm getting closer to it and guess what - aquaplaning has to do with lift, lift coeficient of the tire in question and the omnipresent density...
Once finished I'll probably publish the work on the internet.
Thanks for all comments so far
