a question for the airliners

Hello Airliners !

I have a question. What is written in your books regarding landing on a rwy with reported braking action poor. Yes, no, may be if ...........

I would be happy to learn !

It depends on type and company.

Here, the minimum B/C is 0,2, but additional restrictions such as a reduced maximum crosswind component apply.

Lots about take off, but much less about landing - you may not have an option!!

In my last company operation on BA poor was verboten.

No answer

As this subject is all tied up in the company operations manual there is unlikely to be a definitive answer as what is good in one company may be prohibited in another.

Most operators prohibit landing with "poor" braking action reported but I am sure that someone on this forum will come up with an example where it is allowed.

An example of the diffence in company stance is that a company I know is allowed to use the BA in the first two thirds of a runway if they can stop in the first two thirds and disregard the BA in the last third. Another company I know of mandates the use of only the lowest BA for the runway.

Landing and take off on a runway with reported braking action poor (0.25 or lower) is not allowed, however for take off that applies to the whole runway, for landing only for the required landing distance.

In my company allowed yes, for takeoff and landing to a minimum of 0.20
