Back when I was a145 Capt, we used to joke that there wasn't a European runway that a Barbie hadn't been off the end of.

Now, it wasn't true, but you get the idea.

Our examples had no reversers, so you were on wheel brakes alone. If you landed on a real slick runway, the wheels didn't spin up, the jet didn't know it had landed and so it didn't change its 'WoW' condition to 'on the ground'.

This meant no spoilers and no wheel brakes, and of course we already had no reversers...

Once I landed at BRS to find absolutely no way to slow the thing down at all.
