I have learned more about aviation from following KC than I have from my own son whoโ€™s attending the best aeronautical university in the world. And the tuition to follow him is not bankrupting me. Go follow ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿ‘‡

Notice the little โ€œchannelsโ€ in the runway โ€“ the lines across it. These are โ€œGroovesโ€ & they help move water off the runway. Not all runways have them, but premium runways are both โ€œgroovedโ€ & โ€œcrownedโ€โ€ฆ.crowned means the center of the runway (width-wise) is slightly higher than the edges. In even heavy rain, the water flows off of it. My airline doesnโ€™t give us a separate braking distance allowance for grooved & crowned, but we did take it into account on the KC-10. A grooved & crowned runway in the rain can have nearly the same braking action as a dry runway. The material used for the runway makes a difference, too, but at the airline they donโ€™t bother differentiating. There arenโ€™t many crushed coral runways left, but they were very good about draining water. In Vegas, you wonโ€™t find asphalt โ€“ with the heat & weight of the jet, it gets soft & we sink into it. The first 3,000โ€™ of runways is generally concrete, and itโ€™s much deeper than the rest of the runway, because it has to absorb the impact of landing. The rest of the runway can be less rugged. Youโ€™ll also see grooves on some highways. Same purpose, but I donโ€™t think the highways are crowned.
