Landing A320 on very wet runway
So the runway is very wet, and you want to plant the 320 firmly onto the runway to avoid hydroplanning.
What's your technique for planting the 320 firmly on runway? Flare less? Thrust to idle earlier? |
What does the manual say? |
All landings should be the same, right place, right speed with a firm positive contact. It makes no difference whether it is wet or dry. |

. then forward pressure on the stick. |
How wet is very wet ? |
I suppose the OP must mean contaminated type of wet. More than 3mm of standing water. |
if you're using auto-brakes, scheduled deceleration rate is not commanded until the nose is below a certain point, so a nose down command can increase braking.

Thanks sonic. Coincidentally I’d actually read that today re the latest FCOM change to wet ice. Yes the ground spoiler extension triggers the auto brake cycle - just the above post seemed to imply an alpha that would trigger it. The article is ambiguously worded. I don’t remember that in the GS logic diagram but I don’t know everything and always curious... |
REV IDLE is the norm in our outfit, so much so that many F/O’s have NEVER used REV MAX. If nose down sidestick isn’t held after selection of REV MAX, the nose will rear upwards like an angry horse! |

Possibly, but the aileron extent is only triggered after GS extension, by which time the AB cycle will be running (or counting down). |
i cant remember where it is, but I understand the purpose of the pitch inhibited auto braking is to prevent a hard nose down up on activation.

There may be confusion with some of the words in FCOM regarding Ground Spoiler logic.

Our 320 TP asked the rest of us what the spoiler logic was on our aircraft - as at that time at least one mainwheel on each side had to have spin up. Airbus had canvassed the airline TPs. On the MD, which was “my” ship, any two main wheels - both one the same side - or one on each side - or more, would trigger the spoiler. I believe shortly after this, the same logic was employed on the 320. |
