bubbers is right of course. I just exchanged E mail with a rep of the NTSB and he says nothing is scheduled in the way of a second report any time soon.


IT is vital with all contaminated runway operations to establish and maintain directional control as your first duty. It is better to run off the end of the runway (in this case to a short EMAS over run) a bit too fast, than off the side out of control.

I would like to know much more before commenting, but if you give up flying the plane with stick and rudder and just hope for the best with brakes and steering, good luck.
