Default A newbie doubt, if it's ok...

Hi there,

Is a non-aviator airing a doubt ok with you folks?

I know cars and trucks tend to skid even at low speeds in sleet and on
ice, with braking often proving ineffectual. This leaves me wondering
why is it that we don't ever hear of aircraft skidding and going
off-track while taxiing or even during takeoff/landing? Is the lack of
such incidents only because of the meticulousness of ice clearance by
airport authorities?

Look forward to a comment on this from you experienced folks

Cheers,

Ramapriya
