braking action

Sounds like Garrett had some fun.
Once nice thing about being in a plane instead of a car when
you're on ice is that you're still flying. So at least
there's a chance to recover. I've landed on a couple of patchy
runways, but nothing as serious as what it sounds like happened
there. Sounds like he got
off easy, though.

However, as to his severe weather comment, I suspect that wasn't
the issue at all. It sounds like the problem was the runway, not
the weather. It's unclear what the braking action
report looked like. Also, what seems to a layman like a
pretty scary landing can actually be a pretty good landing but
because of crosswinds it can seem very strange. When landing in a
crosswind a wing on my plane will regularly rise into the air.
It's just what happens.
