Re: Pulling a Stop to Runway Overruns

Gentlemen,

I bow to your obvious superior knowledge of aircraft braking effectiveness. However, I have landed an Electra on a dime with an "in ground effect flare maneuver." The aircraft came to a complete stop upon touchdown. I had to add power to taxi off the runway! This is just an extreme example of momentun control before touchdown, which is not utilized in todays flight operations, to the detriment of flight safety.
