However,
the Airman's
Information
Manual, and to a greater extent
Advisory
Circular

Aircraft
Wake
Turbulence,
provides
a
thorough
discussion
of the
factors
you
should be
aware
of
when
wake
turbulence
may
be
encountered.
TAKEOFF
AND LAND/NG CONDITIONS
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
landing on
runways
that
are
covered
by
water
or slush
which cause
hydroplaning
(aquaplaning),
a
phenomenon
that
renders
braking
and
steering
ineffective
because
of the lack 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.
