I think I see your point. As a captain on a 737 in scandinavia, I have been scared more than once - stopping far down a rwy embedded in a huge ball of snow from thundering reversers.
The 60% rule for stopping at dest. are the same both in JAR OPS and FAA FAR for dispatch ( as far as I can understand).
FAR § 125.195 are easy to read, but the original text in JAR OPS throws me off.
Doing an actual landing at dest.:
- are we required to still stop within 60%, or can we skid to the end when it is wet or slippery? (that is - normal landing 50 feet above threshold and 305 meters in and 15% added).
In our airline we are allowed (and certified)to use the whole rwy for ACTUAL landings. The 60% rule are only used for dispatch. Taken into account that braking action numbers are far less than scientific - we are sometimes left with very small margins. A few mental sensors tells me it might not be correct.
How do you other guys operate??
