WHBM,
'Yet another 737-800 significant runway overrun.'
'… the 737-800 has a spike of serious runway overruns, measured against other comparable types'


Being mindful of human weakness in seeing patterns and forming associations, it is worth asking how 737 operations compare with other types.

The industry has made great effort to revise landing performance and simplify its use; does Boeing supply FOLD data to operators, if not who else would.

The use of operational landing performance (OLD) is still without regulatory mandate.

Even with more realistic data it still has to be used, applied in context; easier lookup tables, comparisons with next worse runway conditions at airports with dubious runway condition reporting, runway surface - type, wind limits and combination of factors (wet - no tailwind, max brake / reverse).

Operator policy; are crews encouraged to adjust autobrake setting, use of max reverse, add more than the minimum distance factor, to deviate from an SOP mindset.
