Narrative:

After rollout on runway 1 at mci we continued to the end of the runway to turnoff on taxiway A1. A front was over the airport and temperatures were rapidly dropping as well as pressure and gusty winds from 290-310 degrees, 17 KTS, gusting 30 KTS. Before turning off we slowed (attempted) to a stop. Braking was nil and the aircraft would not stop -- could not. At 5 KTS approximately we turned and were centered on the taxiway when wind and ice pushed/slid aircraft off the taxiway. All braking and control wheel steering was ineffective. No injuries or damage. Left main gear off taxiway. During this event, airport advisories were not upgraded as to the fast deterioration at the other end of the runway where we made our turnoff. No ground vehicles had inspected these areas. No current reports of braking, poor visibility rain/sleet and lighting on airport, slick icing conditions on the painted surfaces as we exited the runway all contributed to the sliding off taxiway. Even when braking is reported we should remember it may not be relevant to where we actually have to brake (on painted end of runway surfaces) etc and unused txwys or untreated txwys. I think it is unfortunate that the information that pilots need to maneuver safely on the ground is not updated and accurately reported in rapidly changing conditions due to rain/sleet conditions.

Title: CAPT OF AN MLG SLID OFF SIDE OF TXWY DURING TAXI TO PARKING DUE TO HVY GUSTY WINDS, RAIN AND SLICK TXWYS.

Narrative: AFTER ROLLOUT ON RWY 1 AT MCI WE CONTINUED TO THE END OF THE RWY TO TURNOFF ON TXWY A1. A FRONT WAS OVER THE ARPT AND TEMPS WERE RAPIDLY DROPPING AS WELL AS PRESSURE AND GUSTY WINDS FROM 290-310 DEGS, 17 KTS, GUSTING 30 KTS. BEFORE TURNING OFF WE SLOWED (ATTEMPTED) TO A STOP. BRAKING WAS NIL AND THE ACFT WOULD NOT STOP -- COULD NOT. AT 5 KTS APPROX WE TURNED AND WERE CTRED ON THE TXWY WHEN WIND AND ICE PUSHED/SLID ACFT OFF THE TXWY. ALL BRAKING AND CTL WHEEL STEERING WAS INEFFECTIVE. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE. L MAIN GEAR OFF TXWY. DURING THIS EVENT, ARPT ADVISORIES WERE NOT UPGRADED AS TO THE FAST DETERIORATION AT THE OTHER END OF THE RWY WHERE WE MADE OUR TURNOFF. NO GND VEHICLES HAD INSPECTED THESE AREAS. NO CURRENT RPTS OF BRAKING, POOR VISIBILITY RAIN/SLEET AND LIGHTING ON ARPT, SLICK ICING CONDITIONS ON THE PAINTED SURFACES AS WE EXITED THE RWY ALL CONTRIBUTED TO THE SLIDING OFF TXWY. EVEN WHEN BRAKING IS RPTED WE SHOULD REMEMBER IT MAY NOT BE RELEVANT TO WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE TO BRAKE (ON PAINTED END OF RWY SURFACES) ETC AND UNUSED TXWYS OR UNTREATED TXWYS. I THINK IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THE INFO THAT PLTS NEED TO MANEUVER SAFELY ON THE GND IS NOT UPDATED AND ACCURATELY RPTED IN RAPIDLY CHANGING CONDITIONS DUE TO RAIN/SLEET CONDITIONS.
