FAA Recommends Upping Braking Performance Margins
A new SAFO advises that airports may not be able to fully report accurate runway conditions.

Recent data indicates that applying a 15 percent safety margin to calculate wet runway stopping distance, as recommended by previous guidance, may be inadequate in certain conditions to prevent a runway excursion, according to a new safety alert for pilots (SAFO 19003). This new alert replaces the guidance in previous SAFO 15009.
