Yogi, my post was actually being constructed when you posted yours, so I had not seen your posting when I pressed send. My post was in response to Mutt's first post, but it seems that your consequent post, which appeared ahead of mine, sort of made the point I was getting at.
I don't mind if you want to use actual distance, I am not here to judge, I just wanted to imply that I don't feel lucky enough to use the absolute minimum numbers. Guess I am not such a good driver yet, but maybe one day. I like to give myself a fighting chance, when things don't go one hundred percent my way.
I have used maximum braking in my aircraft before, and I know for a fact that we could stop it way shorter than actual numbers by unceremoniously dumping it onto the numbers after a four red approach, and then throwing out TRs and standing on the brakes. But do I want to do that with pax onboard?
Rather not.
