Hello all,
this is the F/O borrowed by Meridiana Spa (italian airline) to Air Uganda, who has just landed the MD87 before the KQ overrun.
Just for the record, rwy in use was 35 , vor dme app.
The major cell was north of the field, that is the reason why we preferred to use rwy 35, despite a slight tailwind occured during approach, of about 4 kts.
I could see the ALS just AT (I MEAN, AT) the minima and had a safe landing (not a big deal with just a LW of 49 T). We easily exited rwy, backtracking rwy 12 and then via C taxiway we reached for the gate.
When arrived at the gate, we could see that KQ asked for fire department and we realized that an overrun had happened.
I can tell that the shower was really hard, full speed wipers needed.
p.s. Besides the above, I do not find a good thing laughing at something like this. Human lives are more important than personal rancour. Remember that a mistake can happen to anyone, even the most experienced pilot!
