I agree that there are any number of phenomena that can compromise what happens from 50’ over the threshold to the end of the TDZ. But, as professionals, it is our responsibility to assess/analyse the effects of that phenomena and to take the appropriate and safest course of action. Exiting the TDZ still airborne be it due to floating or because of a bounce DEMANDS, BY SOP, a balked landing procedure to be executed at my company - about the only exception would be if you’re on fire or carrying a really significant technical issue.
Performing deep/long landings whether deliberate or as a result of questionable technique are indicative of a poor SOP culture. This potentially leads to a scenario where someone misjudges a landing....but it’s “ok” because we’re allowed to land outside the TDZ....and then you touch down at the end of the reciprocal TDZ....
Keep it standard. Keep it safe. Don’t put yourself in a position where you no longer know where you are beyond the threshold.......
