It's a very common and thoroughly irritating error that gets made on a regular basis in places like the motoring forum, but in aviation, which has very clearly laid down standard words, to a pilot who does not have English as his primary language, breaking and breaking could mean 2 very different things, and possibly cause significant confusion.
I'd like to hope that the error in the report was due to a mis type here, but given the complexity of the report, I would be of the opinion that it was a cut and paste from the original report.
I pasted the snowtam in the Snow thread just before midnight on Tuesday.SNOWTAM

I agree that these errors hold never occur, but I think in this case, given the context of a snowtam and the word "action" following it, there could really be no confusion by a trained pilot of any nationality.0 -

Thanks, but rather than focusing on breaking versus braking, what exactly is that SNOWTAM telling us. I would have expected something more specific that I can decode to have some meaning.SNOWTAM

It was issued for Runway 10 at Dublin at 2210 on the 16th.
F) = contamination type over each third of the runway. 5 5 5 = "Wet Snow" over each third.
NIL - CLEAR AND DRY

2 - WET
3 - RIME OR FROST
4 - DRY SNOW
5 - WET SNOW
6 - SLUSH
7 - ICE
8 - COMPACTED SNOW

There's a full guide here.0 -
