    Hydroplaning Presentation

    Hydroplaning occurs when an airplane lands on a contaminated runway surface with standing water, slush, or wet snow. There are three types of hydroplaning: dynamic, reverted rubber, and viscous. Dynamic hydroplaning happens at higher speeds and causes loss of control and braking. Reverted rubber hydroplaning melts tires. Viscous hydroplaning can occur at lower speeds from thin films of fluid. To avoid hydroplaning, pilots should land on grooved runways if available, at slow touchdown speeds, and apply brakes moderately.

    WHAT IS HYDROPLANING?
    Hydroplaning is a condition that can exist when an airplane has landed on a
    runway surface contaminated with standing water, slush, and/or wet snow.
    Hydroplaning can have serious adverse effects on ground controllability and
    braking efficiency
    TYPES OF HYDROPLANING
    The three basic types of hydroplaning are
    1. dynamic hydroplaning,
    2. reverted rubber hydroplaning,
    3. and viscous hydroplaning.

    Any one of the three can render an airplane partially or totally uncontrollable anytime during the landing roll.
    DYNAMIC HYDROPLANING
    Dynamic hydroplaning is a relatively high-speed phenomenon that occurs when there is a film of water
    on the runway that is at least one-tenth of an inch deep.

    When the water pressure equals the weight of the airplane, the tire is lifted off the runway surface and
    stops rotating. Directional control and braking is lost.
    REVERTED RUBBER
    HYDROPLANING
    Reverted rubber hydroplaning happens when your tires lock up, the rubber begins to melt,
    and trapped water under the tire turns into steam.
    When it happens, you're riding on steam, and melting your tires in the process.
    VISCOUS HYDROPLANING
    Viscous hydroplaning is due to the viscous properties of water.
    A thin film of fluid no more than one thousandth of an inch in depth is all that is needed. The tire
    cannot penetrate the fluid and the tire rolls on top of the film.
    This can occur at a much lower speed than dynamic hydroplane, such as asphalt or a touchdown
    area coated with the accumulated rubber of past landings.
    AVOIDING HYDROPLANING
    . It is best to land on a grooved runway (if available).
    . Touchdown speed should be as slow as safely possible.
    . After the nosewheel is lowered to the runway, moderate braking should
    be applied.

    RECOVERY
    . If hydroplaning is suspected, the nose should be raised and aerodynamic drag
    used to decelerate to a point where the brakes do become effective.
    . Proper braking technique is essential. The brakes should be applied firmly until
    reaching a point just short of a skid. At the first sign of a skid, the pilot should
    release brake pressure and allow the wheels to spin up.
    . Directional control should be maintained as far as possible with the rudder.
