Safetypee...
You have made valid points, but I can't seem to understand:
How the pf or pnf could cross the threshold of a 8,900 ft runway and not realise they were far from the touchdown zone.......
Am pretty sure the localizer gave the accurate distance to the runway...
Also, with an initial touchdown speed of 162kts, tells me it was possible for him to initiate a G.A.
