But when compared to the many
thousands of landings made
everyday, including landings on contaminated pavements, overruns, statistically, are still rare. . . no?
Where I work, I haven't heard of anyone having left the pavement. The B74 has superlative stopping cabability. . . . even for a crew that uses less than optimum landing technique! In an emergency, for example, with max auto brake [3000psi], auto spoilers and reversers deployed, the airplane can in fact be stopped within 3500' from the point of touchdown.
