Not so good for those living near the over run area though with all the noise of aircraft running off the end of the runway.

Funny, the last time I looked at anything relating to performance, you definitly got a landing dist/mass

Re. 777 - so you cannot do an autoland, fair'nuf - how about max certified approach angle? Might be a different story.
