Question for the performance guru's
Hello all,
Flew over Bucharest today (LROP) and was listening to the ATIS. The runway state was reported as '51-100% covered in frozen ruts with a depth of 2mm. braking action medium to good.' For the landing, not a problem...
Now, if I were to take off from this runway, how would you make the calculation?! Airbus does not publish equivalent water depths for 'frozen ruts'. Is takeoff allowed?! Do you regard the runway as 'wet', because the contamination is less than 3 mm? But what if the depth was > 3mm?
P.S. This runway state was also mentioned in the METAR that was pulled earlier, using the (relatively new) RODEX decode.
