Intersting to hear that a brake problem may have caused the nose to bang on. I work for Gerbil Airways and have had a good nose around said a/c. It just so happens that the same skipper burst one or two tyres at Gib the week before when a brake locked on during landing. Its true that the conditions on the day were good for Gib (wind out of the west, which is what we pray for ). Gib is not a place to go to when the wind is south west, the limit for example from 190 deg is just 15 kts. It has to be said however that even on the best of days you'd want to hit the touch down zone if you were at max landing , as the end of the 1680m runway comes up sharpish. We have an unwriten rule that if you aint firmly down by the road (that crosses the runway) go around, and we do quite regularly. Got to say in closing that we at Grbil airways have a lot of sympathy for the pilot.There but for the grace of and all that.
