Three points about LBA RW 14
1 The runway is displaced, therefore the landing distance is less than 6,000 ft so it is in this instance a shortish runway. (someone give me the facts for both runways)
2 The glide path angle is greater than the normal 3 degrees leading to an increased chance of a long landing.
3 The runway is constructed in sections of concrete, as you pass over the concrete joints the aircraft bounces slightly. On a wet or damp runway the brake anti-skid tends to back off then come on again giving the impression that it is not operating normally.
