One car stopped on a road might be indicative that there's something going on. A line of traffic, say like possibly stopped at a light, but the next lane hasn't filled up yet, is not necessarily something to slam on the brakes for. It is still a good idea that you should be cautious, which it sounds like the original poster was, as he didn't end up killing the kid. (I'm picturing this as a 4 lane road in my head, for what it's worth. I believe you have pictured it as he's going into the other lane of a 2 lane road, in which case I would agree with you.)

In St Pete it's almost certain it's a 4 lane road. There's nothing Florida loves more than suburban sprawl.

what is landing in those conditions like? would they even allowing landings when the tarmac is in this condition (read: currently a riverbed)

is the front gear rated for that, or would it just rip off

I mean, there's the issue that the plan HAS to land somewhere. After a certain point any flights coming into that airport are cancelled until the airport can stop being a seaport.

Until then the pilots and flight controllers have to deal with:
-How much fuel does the plane have and how long can it stay in the air?
-Where's the nearest landing strip that isn't underwater?
-Is said alternate landing strip large enough?
-Do you risk landing on the (potentially impromptu/soggy) landing strip that's clear but has little to zero instrumentation or the one that's under 3 inches of water but has all of the guidance and safety equipment to lead airplanes in?

If you can't answer these, the plane will eventually land itself but no one's going to like the result of uncontrolled lithobraking.

Why don't they just use a seaplane? Idiots :smuggo:

I also wonder just how foundationally sound those runways will be after that much flooding even after it's all gone.

It currently being a sound is the problem, I suppose. :dadjoke:

I'm assuming that happened pretty quickly. You're not going to be landing or taking off in that due to the risk of hydroplaning or worse.

As far as how this would work regarding: "oh poo poo we were gonna land there": you fly to your filed alternate or otherwise as directed for the capabilities of the airframe. In spite of weird 100-year-flooding, you always have the "airport's closed now" contingency as routine.

Yes but that's boring and surely someone out there knows what the depth cutoff is between doing a gear landing and a water body landing and if they're posting in the OSHA thread I want to hear it.

Actually this is only measured up to an 8th of an inch of standing water/wet snow/dry snow/slush/ice and given as a scale of 0-6, 0 meaning poor friction ("braking action" is the term) and 6 being dry (good braking action). Reports are given for each third of the runway, so a report of 5/4/3 describes progressive worsening of braking and directional control from touchdown to midpoint to rollout on the runway.

EDIT: what I mean to say is if there's more than 3mm of wet, to your alternate you must get.

Gomez Chamberlain
Mar 22, 2005

Subakh ul kuhar!
Also it's kinda sorta subjective. The numbers are mapped to pilot reports of "good"/"good to medium"/"medium"/"medium to poor"/"poor"/"nil"

But if there's more than an 8th of an inch of water/bad braking materials, you're not gonna be allowed to land, typically.

EDIT: and even that is kinda subjective, would I land my rented 172 on a runway with half an inch of water? Absolutely not I have but one life to live and I ain't going out like that. Would I put a 767 on that runway? Maybe, if I had to.
