ZeroG,
My interruption of JAR-OPS is as follows:
You are required to
Plan to land in 60% of the available runway, JAR-OPS 1.515. The available runway is then increased by 15% for a wet or contaminated runway and becomes the minimum distance that you can plan to land on. (JAR-OPS 1.520)
For
ACTUAL landing you can use the whole runway and are no longer limited by the requirement to stop within 60%.
This is exactly as you have stated
In our airline we are allowed (and certified)to use the whole rwy for ACTUAL landings. The 60% rule are only used for dispatch So you are following the regs.
The rest of JAR-OPS 1.520 goes on to explain that you can use manufacturers data approved by your regulatory agency provided that the required runway length isn’t any shorter than the required dry runway +15%.
I just downloaded JAR-OPS off the internet to answer this question, so someone else might want to add something.
