Narrative:
On landing rollout attempted to slow down to turn off at taxiway K, aircraft tires slid. Rolled down to taxiway north, tires slid again, but got aircraft slow enough to make turn. Runway was damp with no standing water. Reported braking action fair to tower due to rubber build-up. Maybe this is the real reason 3 aircraft slid off runway this winter. Poor braking action due to snow and ice on top of an already slick surface. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: this MD88 captain said that the runway was wet, but should have had normal good traction. However, he said, it was quite slick and the flight crew was surprised since no previous braking action report was given by the tower. He also said that when he told the ground controller about the slick conditions caused by the water over the rubber build-up his response was that he would tell the port authority/authorized.

Title: AN ACR MD88 FLC FINDS THAT RWY 23L AT CLE WAS VERY SLIPPERY AFTER A RAIN BECAUSE OF THE DAMPNESS MAKING THE RUBBER BUILD-UP ON THE RWY SLICK.
Narrative: ON LNDG ROLLOUT ATTEMPTED TO SLOW DOWN TO TURN OFF AT TXWY K, ACFT TIRES SLID. ROLLED DOWN TO TXWY N, TIRES SLID AGAIN, BUT GOT ACFT SLOW ENOUGH TO MAKE TURN. RWY WAS DAMP WITH NO STANDING WATER. RPTED BRAKING ACTION FAIR TO TWR DUE TO RUBBER BUILD-UP. MAYBE THIS IS THE REAL REASON 3 ACFT SLID OFF RWY THIS WINTER. POOR BRAKING ACTION DUE TO SNOW AND ICE ON TOP OF AN ALREADY SLICK SURFACE. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THIS MD88 CAPT SAID THAT THE RWY WAS WET, BUT SHOULD HAVE HAD NORMAL GOOD TRACTION. HOWEVER, HE SAID, IT WAS QUITE SLICK AND THE FLC WAS SURPRISED SINCE NO PREVIOUS BRAKING ACTION RPT WAS GIVEN BY THE TWR. HE ALSO SAID THAT WHEN HE TOLD THE GND CTLR ABOUT THE SLICK CONDITIONS CAUSED BY THE WATER OVER THE RUBBER BUILD-UP HIS RESPONSE WAS THAT HE WOULD TELL THE PORT AUTH.
