IMO, you're quite correct,
404 Titan, after all isn't that part of what being a professional pilot is about.
The history pages are filled with pilots who tried to "grease it on" and eventually probably did. but ended up running out of runway and damaging the aeroplane.
As a matter of fact, I was just reading about an incident in the States where the Captain overran the runway, because he persisted in trying to land when he should have gone around ie. he touched down with insufficient runway length remaining. Not only did he not realise the aircraft limitations, but neither did the F/O (who should have told him to go-around).
The final words on the CVR transcript by the (52 y.o) Captain were, "
Well, there goes my career".
I wonder if Bob Katter and Wayne Swan might have written him a letter of thanks for NOT going around, had they been on board at the time
