For those who haven't looked at the report, the very first page of the "Appendicies" pdf contains a diagram of the runway, with points of interest marked. Also shown is the distance from the start of RWY 23, which was approx 3000m long. The following are estimated, but good to at least 100m, maybe 50m.
  • rotation : 1150m
  • Bang : 1250m
  • Engine debris : 1300m to 1800m
  • HP Disc fragments : 1550m
  • Touchdown : 2600m
  • Aircraft Stop Point : 3200m

So the actual event happened with 1750m of "runway left". Deciding to get back down, and then doing so, took more than 3/4 of that distance. Leaving just over 1000ft in which to stop. Which should give pause for thought for anyone thinking of putting a damaged plane back down again. Especially if they start any further down the runway than this event...
