comments implying that an extra 1000 ft on landing distance doesn’t matter because it is certificated distance, are irresponsible. Although this may be within your limited experience; you may wish to consider acquiring more experience, but hopefully not at the expense of an overrun.
safetypee,
my alleged statement about "extra distance doesn't matter" comes right out of your imagination.
We were talking about
observed behaviour, not about
requirements.
What I
observed in my experience is that the airplane doesn't float at all.
Also the second part of your comment about my alleged tendency to overrun is pure horsedump.
You would benefit from reading UK AIC 11/98 “Landing performance of large transport aeroplanes”, which identifies long landings due to float as a contributor to overruns.
Who do you think you are talking to?
