Appears to be a wet runway. Combine that with a perhaps slightly hot approach, a slightly long landing, and we’ve got the recipe for some hot times in the old tires tonight.
Or an end of runway encounter. Gotta love that crushable concrete.
Corpus Christi, Texas circa 1982.
I was in my aircraft (Cessna 172) waiting to take the active for departure. A Continental 727 landed way long. I expected him to “go around.” He did not. The next thing I saw was smoking tires, a lot of smoke from those tires. Nothing bad happened but it could have.
I would have loved to hear the conversation between the captain and the first officer after that landing. I suspect the conversation would have started like this, “You dumb Son of a Bit—! I would have hoped it was the First Officer doing the landing. If it was the captain, the first officer would have said nothing but sat there in fuming anger.
Water on runway= Hydroplaning.
