06/24 Risk Factors
Given the history of incidents experienced on 06/24 the runway it is possible the runways have higher than normal risk factors.
When landing 06 there is often a wind shear at or below 100’ which can unstabilise the approach. The shear often involves a lateral displacement from the centerline that often addressed at the expense of maintaining the correct vertical path.
This runway “falls away” in the touchdown zone area, which often results in additional floating.
Rubber deposits that reduce brake effectiveness significantly contaminate the touchdown areas on both runways.
Some SOP’s require the use of 18/36 when there is any moisture on 06/24. This is sound risk management.
06/24 is not a runway for those pilots that find the challenge of landing within the normal touchdown zone beyond their operational ability.
