Aquaplaning may reduce the effectiveness of wheel braking in aircraft on landing or aborting a takeoff , when it can cause the aircraft to run off the end of the runway . Aquaplaning was a factor in an accident to Qantas Flight 1 when it ran off the end of the runway in Bangkok in 1999 during heavy rain . Aircraft which can employ reverse thrust braking have the advantage over road vehicles in such situations , as this type of braking is not affected by aquaplaning , but it requires a considerable distance to operate as it is not as effective as wheel braking on a dry runway
