ROPS was certified for:
Airbus A380 in 2009
Airbus A320 Family in 2013
Airbus A350 in 2014
Airbus A330 in 2015

I am not sure if this a 'standard fit' piece of kit, or an optional extra.

Runway Overrun Prevention System
Flew the 320/319 for 9 yrs and don't remember ROP, etc. or any training for it...But then again my now adult kids wore name tags for me growing up so...Anyway I don't think more bells, etc. in this type of incident would help...Training and FOQA would and I can see this type of event as a great recurrent scenario...btw ROPS means something different for farm equipment ...B
