A Momentun of Your Time

Perhaps you should elaborate on your point.

As I understand it, OVERTALK's suggestion (by contrast) is to propose a straight-forward means of stopping contaminated runway overruns (ie. accidents) by enhancing post-touchdown braking effectiveness. That might indeed be an example of something:
<<<which is not utilized in todays flight operations, to the detriment of flight safety.>>>

Would you not agree? Or are you disputing that backstick braking works? i.e. as a means of achieving effective braking on slick runways. That doesn't appear to be the case. But perhaps you didn't review the whole thread.
