ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Maintain positive aircraft control throughout the landing using drag and braking devices, as appropriate, to come to a stop.

Bottom line

When the runway is wet, anticipate braking problems well before landing and be prepared for hydroplaning. Mechanical braking may be ineffective, so aerodynamic braking should be used to its fullest advantage.
