Let's not kid ourselves, shorter runways require different flying. Aim point and touchdown take a higher priority vs trying to land smoother. The touchdown zone where the landing is required is 1/3 of the landing distance or the first 3000'. With a 5802' runway the requirement to be on the ground is 1930'. How many regular landings go around if they're not down by the 2000' mark? None. Shorten the runway to 5100' and the go-around requirement reduces to 1700'. How many normal runway landings go-around if they're not on the runway by 1700' from the threshold? Answer: none.
