If you're in something smallish, landing on the piano keys won't be a problem. As the maxim goes: runway behind is like sky above ....

There are certain circumstances where it is clearly beneficial to use every inch of runway (just ask the US Navy!!) although when you're in the big jets, if you plan to land on the piano keys, you'll drag the tail through the approach lights!
