CAA issues alert for potential runway slippage at Karachi airport's Jinnah terminal

 The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has issued a Notice to Airmen (Notam) due to concerns about aircraft skidding on the runway at Karachi Airport's Jinnah Terminal during monsoon rains.



Pilots have been advised to take care during takeoff and landing, particularly on runway 25L, which can become slippery due to accumulation of rainwater.


To avoid accidents, all pilots are urged to be extremely careful while landing and taking off on wet runways.


The CAA has also instructed all airlines, training institutions and charter aviation companies to inform their pilots and provide necessary training on this issue.


Aircraft skidding, which refers to unintentional lateral movement along the runway, can occur due to wet or icy surfaces, strong crosswinds or improper landing techniques. When the runway is slippery, the aircraft's tires can lose traction, causing the plane to skid or slide sideways instead of maintaining a straight path.

But then protesters started marching on the prime minister's residence. And there was no time. My mother hadn't even packed her bags.
