Slippery when wet
This was brought up on another thread but should be addressed on its own.
EK have changed the requirements for grooved runways due to a circular from the UK CAA which goes on about grooved runways loosing their effectiveness over a period of time due to the grooves filling with rubber deposits. Makes sense to me.
The bigger issue here is how EK disseminated such important performance information. A revision to be collected with a small black line to show a change.....
Another takeoff incident and who'll be to blame this time around

It's in the fine print
As I see it nothing has changed - the FCI deleted specific info from the FOM that is now found (where it should be) in FCOM 2 (2.04.10 pg 2 to be specific for the mini bus).
