Aviophage re “Not news worthy at all.”
So ”Flight 339 landed "long" or past the point it could turn and taxi back to the airport, … There was heavy rain around Savannah as the plane tried to land.”
.. why is this not of interest?

What about the landing distance safety margin.

Why was the entire landing distance used? Was the runway limiting, if not then more distance might have been used than allowed by the performance data … why?
At least there should be some explanation as this might help others avoid similar circumstances and help improve flight safety in an operational area suffering many overrun incidents.
