Runway 12, Norman Manley International Airport, Kingston, Jamaica is 8900 feet long. Wet or dry conditions, it would seem that if a pilot overflys the first 4000 feet of a 9000 foot long runway, and attempts to land from that point, he/she is doing a huge disservice to him-/her-self, the company for which he/she works, the other pilot in the cockpit, the passengers, the airport authority, the airplane manufacturer, and everyone else that may read with interest the report of the occurrence – and this list is not necessarily in an order of importance! Am I missing something?
