one thing the 737 and the AB320 have in common is this:

the plane lands where the pilot tells it to land...unless of course doing an autoland...

a 737 will go off the end of a runway if the pilot lands long, doesn't reverse in time and is a bit unlucky

same thing for an airbus.


I recall that a commercial pilot (let alone an atp) has to demonstrate landing within 200 feet of a spot.
