Step Turn, yes plant it very firmly {ignore the SLF in the back who tend to judge everything by the landing!} on most heavy aircraft this will compress the oleos which in turn if you plant it firmly enough will spin up the wheels {normally requires two to activate the lift dump, on most aircraft on opposite sides of the aircraft} thus it normally wont re- hydroplane again, combine this with putting the reverse thrust leavers somewher in the first class cabin and it will indeed stop, {ignore the first class bit in an Airbuss product, just bend those two liitle switches back}On some aircraft {B727 was great} dont be afraid to use aerodynamic braking which in turn tends to drive the main gear with a good down force. Im no genius, but started in 1954, have yet to go of the end, mind you our twin doesnt have anti skid/spoilers/reverse thrust and our home base is under 4,000 feet, so maybe I speak too soon!
