Re: Pulling a Stop to Runway Overruns
Then article on pulling the controls rather than pushing makes interesting reading and debate. However, nowhere in the article on over-runs does it mention the absolute need for the correct landing technique required for wet or contaminated runways and that is:- a firm touchdown on the centreline,on the touchdown zone, immediate deployment of spoilers with either full manual or max. autobrakes (dependent on type and flight manual recommendations) and full reverse used until a safe stop is ensured.
As for last years incidents, involving over-runs, am I being cynical when I ask if pilot error has now been replaced by "a break-down in CRM"?
