Re: Pulling a Stop to Runway Overruns
I would suggest an answer to why this maneouvre is not used by the civil aviation world, is quite simple. Most line pilots would be incapable of landing safely on a contaminated limiting runway using a technique that involves usage of rudder,ailerons and pitch (other than lowering the nose) and handling reverse levers at the same time. The proof is in the safety statistics which show that basic piloting abilities do not seem to have improved much over the years, but our training is full of CRM and situational awareness courses and the addition of various gadgets and gizmos mean that airline boards insist on their usage, to the detriment of manual handling improvement.
