411A....again correct!!!!
Yes, and St. Thomas is a classic case to illustrate....
As a result, many times, AA now operates the 757 in there. That aircraft stops fairly well.
Also, they've extended the runway....that helps, too.
But, you're still landing, many times, downwind, downslope runway, sometimes wet, (sometimes more than wet), lots of rubber deposits.
It's a "Put in on...Get it Stopped" landing! If something ain't right, anything at all, GO AROUND! I don't care what the charts say, you're asking for trouble!!!!
I've done this runway under the above conditions in a 737...which doesn't
stop worth XXXX. (Yes, that's my opinion...but, I flew the damn thing for over 17 years with over 12,000 command hours. I certainly am entitled to an opinion.) And, I've done it in the Bus. A little better at stopping...but,
I'd still rather have my old faithful 727. (Never flew the 757, but I'm told that thing will stop even better than the 727.)
The charts are based on assumptions....just like any piece of engineering.
In the real world, we don't have those exact assumptions. So, we have to season our data with our experience.
I say again, "If your landing with a tailwind on a wet runway, you're asking for trouble."
Southwest went by the charts in Midway.....
I'd rather have a skipper who knows what the plane will do and not do. If he's more conservative than the charts, we go by him. If the charts are more conservative than him, we go by the charts.
This comes from my extensive training with Microsoft Simulator.
