Incidentally some operators land A321 into Skiathos (LGSK) at 75T/no wind/35*c and can still stop in @800 metres
And what temp do the brakes get to? The figures in the QRH are Airbus test pilot figures - new aircraft, new brakes, over the fence at exactly 50', plant it and STAND FULL on the brakes. Get the tape measure out and there's your ACTUAL landing distance. Us mere mortals need to add 15% (at least) to take account brake wear, generally inability etc etc

I'm still mystified as to how they went so far off the end. Also v surprised that the name has not been white washed of the aircraft - hardly a great advert is it?
