NTSB Safety Recommendation — Aviation
Recommendation text
TO THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION: Inform operators of airplanes that have wet runway landing distance data based on the British Civil Air Regulations Reference Wet Hard Surface or Advisory Material Joint 25X1591 that the data contained in the Aircraft Flight Manuals (and/or performance supplemental materials) may underestimate the landing distance required to land on wet, ungrooved runways and work with industry to provide guidance to these operators on how to conduct landing distance assessments when landing on such runways.
In plain language (FlightFinder summary)
The Federal Aviation Administration is directed to notify operators of airplanes whose wet runway landing distance data is based on the British Civil Air Regulations Reference Wet Hard Surface or Advisory Material Joint 25X1591 that the data in their Aircraft Flight Manuals may underestimate the landing distance needed on wet, ungrooved runways. The FAA must also collaborate with industry to develop guidance for these operators on assessing landing distances on such runways.
