… and what thoughts about braking action if you do get on the runway. Flooded surface, considerably more distance required; possible crosswind … lower crosswind limits.
My thoughts are aligned with yours by the sounds of things.
I have to admit that as a 737 f/o I flew an approach and landing very similar to this. It was a check flight with a check pilot in the middle seat. It went without incident but I've always been a bit dissapointed with myself for not explicitly stating my wish to take a heading and hold. The authority of the two I was with was such that I allowed it to override my own judgement. That said, I am happy that I have progressed enough over the years to feel like I wouldn't do it again.
