NTSB urges FAA overhaul of wet-runway braking/landing distance classification after runway overruns The NTSB is pressing the FAA to revise how runway conditions are assessed during heavy rainfall, saying the current wet-runway matrix underestimates landing distances and braking performance. The recommendations come from ongoing investigations into runway overrun risks when aircraft skid or fail to stop as expected on contaminated pavement.
