The aviation and piloting in China are strongly regulated and because discipline goes a long way, the results show. The people are failable in a similar fashion to anywhere else (already witnessed despite my short exposure pre-COVID) and thus procedures had been designed to guard against our own selves.

Enter stage: A punitive non-go-around policy. As opposed to a non-punitive go-around policy. Self-explanatory if you read its name right.

I also feel the -800 has an eyebrowraisingly high cover page presence with overruns. But any overrun could have been avoided by going around. More detail from a recommended reading Why and When to Perform a Go-Around Maneuver (page 5, Boeing's AERO 2014-II) Do not blame the airplane for being less pilot-proof, before evaluating properly the picture in the mirror.



Some old thread here: 737 runway overruns
