Perhaps we could join up this thread with the AF Memmingen lookalike incident and then try working out why modern jet transport aircraft seem to come to grief, due to far too many Nanojoules or Ergs or whatever energy units we're using this week, over the landing threshold and ending up in the overrun?
Just a thought as I recall from memory the many fatal and luckily non-fatal overrun accidents over the last few years, since we were forced into aiming 300m into the concrete and carrying oodles of speed JUST IN CASE the wind reversed on a perfectly ordinary day............................!
When landing a Bae146-300 into Berne, the touchdown point was the "piano-keys", unless you held membership of the golf course at the far end, and Vref meant just that, not Vref + a bit of this and a bit of that!!!
Back to that darkened room to read the latest EASA proposals, thereby guaranteeing coma within minutes!
