I guess this one was possibly neither + the P45's ?
Yes indeed but aside from good practice, I am intrigued by the amount of weight that is put on landing before the last marker. Notwithstanding that the rejected landing should not have been anything other than routine, continuing with the landing would have been absolutely fine in this case. As others have pointed out the *long landing” call does not calculate the distance remaining on the Boeing system. On this runway there is around 9000ft still available beyond the last marker which is more than the entire runway length at places like Newcastle and Glasgow, which EK operates to without issue.
