Framer, I hear you about the value of accident reports to load ones personal information, decision making mechanism.
The Captain of the accident flight had been a Miami based 727 Check Airman and was very experienced thruout the Carribean and Central America.
Within AA , was passed down some of our most egregious accidents and words of wisdom/ directives / procedures / techniques derived from those accidents. One of those accidents regularly talked and taught about was flight 625, a B-727 touching down about 2,800 feet past the threshold of a 4,658 foot runway at St. Thomas in 1976.
Floating, touchdown zone and speed bleed-off was one of those almost constantly discussed hot topics during my career at AA, tho long touchdowns continued year after year as I think we pilots wrestle so often with attempting to finesse the sink rate for a dazzling touchdown at the expense of precious runway behinds us
