Have landed on an ice covered runway with a KingAir....braking action nil but used prop reverse to stop. This works so long as there is NO wind.
Suggest the runway should be WELL sanded with a jet. Also would add 50% to the required stopping distance.
Ice is bad news generally.
Also beware of taxiways. Would be a shame to land ok only to slide off the taxistrip.
