I will be interested in knowing if the runway drainage system at KIN was maintained properly and not full of debris.
Why? does that mitigate using an inappropriate flap setting and touching landing 2000ft past the touchdown zone with a tailwind?
I will be interested in knowing if the vegetation on the edges was trimmed properly and didn't cause water to dam up on the runway in heavy rain.
Trimming the vegetation doesn't effect the poor operation of the aircraft.
I understand what you are saying but I think you're clutching at straws a bit.They landed long and fast with a tail wind. Thats that. I feel like as an industry we are progressively taking less and less responsibility for our actions and trying to transfer the responsibility to others.
