touchdown point.

well, this says alot. 4000' down a 9000' runway sure says something to me.

Now, why? Was the tailwind worse than reported? Were there lighting issues on the runway?

And it sure is easier to land in bad wx on a runway with tdz lighting system.

While there are many lighting cues on a runway even without the tdz lighting system, it is time to realize....EITHER DO IT RIGHT or don't do it at all. All runways should be great, not mediocre.
