situations.
However,
the
Airman's
Information
Manual, and to a greater extent Advisory Circular
90-23,
Aircraft
Wake
Turbulence,
provides
a
thorough discussion
of
the
factors
you should be
aware
of
when
wake
turbulence
may
be
encountered.
TAKEOFF AND
lANDING
GONDITIONS
When taking
off
on
runways
covered
with water
or
freezing
slush,
the
landing
gear
should remain
extended
for
approximately ten
seconds
longer than
normal, allowing the wheels to spin
and
dissipate the
freezing moisture.
The
landing gear should then be
cycled
up,
then
down,
wait
approximately five
seconds
and
then retract again.
Caution must be exercised
to
insure that the entire
operation is performed below Maximum Landing
Gear
Operating Airspeed.
Use caution when
l~nding
on
runways
that
are
covered by water
or
slush which
cause
hydroplaning
(aquaplaning), a
phenomenon
that renders braking
and
steering
ineffective
because
of
the Jack
of
sufficient surface friction.
Snow
and
ice covered
runways are also hazardous.
The
pilot should also
be
alert to the possibility
of
the
brakes
freezing.
