Re ‘
unstable approaches are significant factor’, i.e. not a cause. A Boeing study notes that approx 30% of overruns involve an unstable approach, but cite combinations of long, fast, and deceleration (braking action) as factors in the majority of overruns; *1.
The piloting task is to identify and judge situations involving these combinations and the importance of each factor beforehand.
The industry needs to take a radical view of the overrun problem; we must not expect that ‘more of the same’ will improve the situation. Airbus statistics compare the changes achieved with CFIT and LOC; *2
Considering mind-set, airmanship, etc; a simple and possibly effective view of expertise - ‘
a checklist of things to think about’;-

‘The pre-landing briefing is a flight plan for the mind.’
‘The post landing debrief adds a new experience, every time.’
We might wish to consider how and when we brief / debrief; or have we lost the will to learn, - from every landing ?
