← TechnologyNear touchdown on a contaminated runway, which outcome sharply degrades braking performance due to fluid impedance?
A)Hydroplaning reduces friction substantially✓
B)Anti-skid engages flawlessly sooner
C)Reverse thrust is rendered unusable
D)Spoilers activate too pre-emptively
💡 Explanation
Hydroplaning occurs because a fluid layer builds between the tire and runway, thus reducing friction; the increased fluid impedance prevents direct contact, therefore reducing braking effectiveness rather than enhancing it, as anti-skid systems require friction.
