9.14.1 CONTAMINATION Tab
This tab features mutually exclusive buttons that allow the instructor to modify the
runway surface.
9.14.1.1 Dry
Tap this button to set dry runway conditions. On a dry runway, normal touchdown
zone rubber residue from landing aircraft will change the coefficient of friction where
the rubber is evident.
This may be further affected if runway contaminants are selected. This button is
disabled when a wet runway is forced due to rain on the runway.
9.14.1.2 Rubber
Tap this button to set rubber on runway. Rubber on runway is independent of the
runway conditions (ice, snow slush and sand). There will only be a friction effect if
selected in combination with Wet runway.
Note: Rubber can also come in the form of a checkbox.
9.14.1.3 WATER – Patchy
Tap this button to add patchy wet conditions on the runway.
This button is disabled when:
• The temperature is below -5 degrees Celsius.
• A wet runway is forced due to rain on the runway.

Tap this button to add wet conditions on the runway.
This button is disabled when the temperature is below -5 degrees Celsius.
9.14.1.5 WATER – Standing Water > 1/8 in (3 mm)
Tap this button to add 1/8 inch (3 mm) of water on the runway.
This button is disabled when the temperature is below -5 degrees Celsius.
