A very well written paper.
Even I, a helicopter driver whose fixed wing experience was mostly “bush” ( I think I can land on that lake surrounded by hills and trees and take off again in my single engine 1 ton pickup truck) could understand it.

The elephant hiding at the back of the room in these days of crowded airspace and airports.
The horrible scenario of a runway incursion perceived after the touchdown and deployment of reverse thrust must be something that many have thought of. You can’t go around so all you can do is apply max reverse and braking while steering to avoid colliding with the other aircraft even if it means leaving the runway. Even such a scenario before reverse thrust selection is a conundrum as if you do elect to attempt a baulked landing go-around you may collide with the other aircraft at high speed, high power and a high pitch attitude.
