Hello!
I had some discussion regarding breaking action recently and I'd like to clear it up.
So, is it true to say a plane needs better breaking for departure (possible high-speed abort) than landing? Do your friction coefficient minimums differ for each third of the runway? Does weak braking action causes more trouble with decceleration or rather stability/steering? Does paint used for runway markings significantly reduces friction locally in wet conditions?
Opinions may vary between different airframes, so if possible - please state the bird you're flying in replies. Thanks a lot.
