never heard of the times 10 rule before either. Sounds like a good rule of thumb, though. I think ill do some maths, and see if I can get to similar numbers. (better than verifying by experiment).
MadFltScientist - true, but only as long as the area beyond the runway isn't littered with walls, berms, ditches and whatnot. There are still too few airports out there which have a safety area to allow you to stop gently after an overrun.
