Norwegian investigators believe that overestimation of braking effectiveness
on a contaminated runway resulted in a MyTravel Airways Airbus A320's
skidding sideways to a halt as the crew battled to prevent an overrun.
Three minutes before landing on runway 18 at Sandefjord Airport the pilots
of the twin-jet were informed by tower controllers that the runway had 8mm
of wet snow. Friction measurements, however, indicated 'medium' braking
action.
