encore baby :Personally, having ventured into both Shoreham and LA Mole with Jets I would be far happier going somewhere else simply because the law of averages means I can't guarantee a perfect approach every time.
hmm.. this i can guarantee...textbook from the AFM, even the braking, ( which is on short field the key of a safe roll-out)

But I would like to know, what cannot you guarantee on a daily basis ? If it is not good ,you would go-around no ? press-on-itis has no place here or am i wrong ?

I was trained , years ago, as a professional pilot to deliver what the aircraft is able to do, always. Mitigating by the experience of the crew some unfavorable conditions. But ( in private or in AOC), if you can t/O or land at 39000Lbs on this particular runway on that day, and if your weight IS 39000Lbs you are paid to do so ( unless conditions outside the scope are occurring in real time)...But the approach...especially on a F2TH EASy, in order to **** it up, you need to work at it...
