Beanbag – I don’t think anyone here has made any conclusions or offered any theories about an attempted GA. Maybe the issue arose in discussion BEFORE we all had the retrospective advantage of seeing video of the landing roll??? Maybe making the quite reasonable assumption of what an experienced ATPL in a transport category aircraft might do (or consider doing) with failure to decelerate adequately (for whatever reason) with 2 to 3 thousand feet of runway remaining and a really bad situation at the end of that runway ??? Then taking that reasonable idea and asking here if anyone knows if it happened or not. Maybe we aren’t all present at press conferences?
Broadreach – disregard my previous comment about the flash at the end of the runway – I thought you were referring to something else.
The video appears to me to show spoilers up – I’m not 100% on AB hydraulics – so what are the chances of a more serious type failure on brakes with the A320?
