A320 and B737 have proven stopping distances short enough for Congonhas. This was a freak accident that couldn't be predicted. Despite what all the whistleblowers will now try to tell us.
Or you mean only "stopping distances proven to be within 1900m with one engine at 75% N1 and with no spoilers?". Btw, as has been shown, the accident aircraft probably had a "provable" stopping distance short enough even in this failure scenario. (It remains to be seen if the brakes could have taken the amount of energy. I would try to calculate it, but would need mass and material (specific heat and maximum operating temperature) of the brake disks, and thrust force of the #2 engine for that.
4. Complete rezoning of the areas around the airport. Yes knock down buildings, rezone the whole area by government edict. Build that 10,000 foot runway (12,000 is no doubt better, everyone likes 12,000foot runways) and put in recommended RESA with EMAS. Make Congonhas state of the art. And hope for the best.
12,000'!
Yay!
Bring in the B747, the A330/340, the B777, he A380!
12,000' is even long enough for Concorde! Too sad she's not flying any more.
You know that this is what's going to happen, as soon as you have a longer runway.
Only shifts the problem.
