Witnesses may be saying that it touched down long, but Brig-Gen Saito, Chief of the Airforce has stated that the touchdown was at the normal point and in the normal attitude, however the aircraft failed to decelerate on landing.

ffb, at Congonhas there have been more Boeing incidents, this is the first involving an Airbus. Also, when restrictions were applied to the previous runway surface they applied to 2 Boeing 737 variants, and the Fokker 100. There were no prior concerns about the 319/320 landing at Congonhas, except for the general concerns about the location of the airport.
