M2002, let's exclude the emergency or contaminated RWY out of the equation, shall we? If we hit this path it ain't gonna be pretty, tell you that much. The scenario with DTM 06 is simple and straightforward question and the point I'm trying to make here isn't to be right but to raise the awareness of how inconsistent and unrealistic our perception is compared with the real world and commercial world. In the end it's your call however remember the desk flyers out there are quick to jump the gun to incriminate you. The bottom line is if you take THR and ALD as per AFM then you better fulfill all the assumptions it's based upon crossing the THR at 50 ft and not at the published TCH, smack that thing into the ground with 480 ft/min and slam those brakes like a mad man. Do we really do it in real life? Of course we don't. Regarding your last assumption let's consider you're going to LAX 24R what's your TORA on 24R and your LDA with TCH of 73ft? LAX - Los Angeles International Airport | SkyVector There's tons of supplementary data out there raising awareness of a mismatch between the manufacturer's data and the real world however airbus and boeing wanna sell those shiny new planes and we don't wanna put them in the ditch, do we? Good luck.
