So is deliberately touching down late a no-no or is it frowned upon but acceptable?
I refer to my answer above. If you want a little more detail here is my attempt: ATR72s (and such like commuter aircraft) operate out of relatively short strips. If they are landing at an airport with say a 3000m runway there will be nothing inherently dangerous aiming to land half way down such a long runway. Similarly, these days one often sees short to medium range aircraft taking off from intersections rather than use the full length. The argument is that if the calculations indicate that they can safely abort at V1 from the point where they begin their roll it's deemed safe. I have to confess that in this respect I'm an old dog: if you have it, use it!
