A bit of info...some are near facts and this info does not come from any official source

1.- EC-FXI was performing a normal approach (see icliverpool.co.uk news May 11 2001)

2.- A/C was not "high and hot" over the threshold (inside source).

3.- A/C stopped within 2/3 of available runway (got the picture)

4.- A/C remained almost in center line (got the picture)

5.- Pictures show Right MLG collapsed and folded aft parallel to fuselage.

6.- Crew was VERY familiar with liverpool
(know that for a fact if you want to take my word for it)


Other facts that may be interesting to consider:

MD83 with 50 Pax and 8000lbs of fuel at landing:

Estimated LW 105Klbs
Vref about 120 Kts
Max T/W 10Kts (AFM)

LDistance @105KLbs 10Kts T/W: 3000feet
LDistance @105KLbs 0 Wind : 2700feet

LDistance @MLW 139.5KLBS 10Kts T/W: 3600feet
LDistance @MLW 139.5KLbs 0 Wind : 3200feet

LDA Liverpool: 7200 feet

Not very much to make a report with but maybe tailwind had nothing to do with the incident

Happy landings
