HawkEye
Thanks for elaborating on your question.
Got to love the -800 at MLW, she is fast.
Having started o TPs on 1000m rwy and the odd 800m I love short fields.
PAX comfort is by definition when they can hug the waiting family and wave goodbye to the nutter that made it happen!
As they say in WF : A good landing is a hard landing ( Boeing calls it firm!??)
Q/A
1 Do you have the Short Field Kit, Helps a wee bit.
2 Were do you go ( ICAO/ IATA code?)
3 Is it grooved?
4 Does it have displaced treshold and or overrun?
5 Does it ever snow there?
My big thing has always been max effort after touhdown on restricted field, as I have had multiple optimistic and wrong BA reported.
Never mind rubber deposits when damp and wet.
It is not an exact science, me thinks!
Most of my FOs have never seen AB MAX.
I think that it is important when flying the 738 to be ever so conservative with regards to landing.
Had it slide a couple of times, BOY did I wish I had a TP then.
Anyway.
AutoBrake MAX, gently over ride, when stopping assured, works for me and my PAX!
Remember the goal of the exercise : 1 No CNN 2 No HQ for tea/ biscuit 3 No report !
Not so technical, be practical!
Happy Landings

Happy landing, and stopping
