Arrester Barrier would have helped !!
Jokes apart for planes touching down beyond the touchdown zone.. first 3 thousand feet or so..and on the short runways...the resultant ....
residual.. i call it left-overs of the runway...landing run is critical.. add to it rain and poor visibility.. its a perfect recipe for Hull Loss..
Guys we can not take tailwinds and rain so lightly.. we have seen a A320 over-running n' going off a few months ago.. rather at the beginning of the year 2009 with one Thrust Reverser under MEL and the aircraft had a overshooting approach and touched down late.. beyond touchdown zone, I guess..
Net Result =Hull Loss.
Please use MAX auto brakes when in slightest doubt.. you may need to explain about the harsh braking but not about the Hull Loss !!!
They also have a limit...and cant save you if you touch down down after 4000 feet on a 6000 feet wet runway with gusty tail winds...
Happy Landings..
