Thomas Holbrook asks:

Anybody have experience in IVs, landing/taking off from runways with compact
snow and ice?


I have not done this, but based on my limited experience with wet runways
and the braking normally required to stop on a 3000' runway, I would not
even consider it. Even the smallest crosswind is likely to cause you to
drift off the side, and the marginal braking available on packed snow/ice
means you'll need to more than double your normal landing distance--if you
can stay on the runway that long...

Just my opinion...I take it you have not yet operated an IV/IV-P off a short
or wet runway yet?
