La présence de neige fondante ou d'eau stagnante sur les pistes peut avoir un effet critique sur l'exploitation des aéronefs. Des variations dans la nature de la neige fondante et l'effet critique de son épaisseur ont rendu difficile l'évaluation de la traînée parasite due aux résidus de précipitation. [...] Outre l'existence de coefficients de frottement discutables et les effets néfastes de l'hydroplanage, il faut tenir compte, lors de l'utilisation des pistes recouvertes d'une épaisseur mesurable de fluide, de l'effet de ralentissement du roulement libre que l'on a appelé «traînée parasite». 1, record 1, French, - tra%C3%AEn%C3%A9e%20due%20aux%20r%C3%A9sidus%20de%20pr%C3%A9cipitation
