High and fast

The Butuan overshooting is obviously another case of High and fast approach. Auto thrust has nothing to do, or not at fault in this incident. As Im sure its down the bottom of that green circle showing IDLE.

Flying this New generation airplanes is an exact science. Numbers we see inside the FCOMS and QRH were all been tested and certified, meaning if the Number says i.e. 1200meters to stop with LOW brake setting or even without(MANUAL BRAKING), thats exactly what it needs, so if an airplane such as the 320 lands beyond the required number, not an extra effort of braking will cause that Aircraft to stop on the paved runway.
Its a pity that such incident caused by wrong judgement happens to one of the Senior and very experienced Pilot of PAL.

Did you already forget the TACLOBAN overshooting, wasnt it just this early 2007? When will we learn?
