It was the fact that they didn't realise that the paved runway length including starter extension is nearly 2,000 m despite the declared distances being the Code C limiting 1,799 m. They seemed to feel more comfortable with a runway of that declared length being set within a greater length of pavement. Whether they should have been made aware of it earlier is not for me to judge.
