I recall reading in either a UK or JAA advisory document that when landing on runways where the standard of the overrun area is less than normally accepted, then operators should adjust the landing distance required; can anyone direct me to the reference? It could have been a JAA discussion document where the assumptions made about the formulation of landing distance are outlined. Operators rarely see or fully understand these assumptions, particularly when embedded in regulations e.g use / availability of thrust reverse, speed margin at touchdown.

Reviewing the statistics of landing overrun events, they are dominated by the environmental conditions (wet runways) and crew behavior (judgment, landing long and fast) and not aircraft type. Yet again this year we should revisit the advice given in Managing the Threats and Errors during Approach and Landing.

From a poor picture on Google Earth the runway appears to be concrete, or at lest part concrete. This might be a factor – see note on wet concrete runways in the link.
