Anyone seen landing distance figures published to cater for one of your engines producing significant thrust? Nope me neither

Thats a big unknown on a heavy aircraft and if the aircraft is stable then why not take time and get your weight down, chat to your company/manufacturer etc to get advice. Seems very sensable to me especially if your doing it in a position that allows an expeditious recovery should things deteriorate.

No prizes for rushing in and going off the end of the runway when you don't need to.
