And what does aqua planing "for a couple of seconds" feel like. ? How do you know?
We didn't touch down as firmly as I would have expected on a (very) wet runway. There was a strange noise from underneath for a couple of seconds and the aircraft didn't start to decelerate until after the noise had stopped, and you could feel and see we were moving across the runway. I don't know what aquaplaning feels like in anything other than a car, and I'm sure to the guys up front it was a pretty standard arrival, however to me in the back it didn't feel normal hence why I asked the question.
