RWY 09/27 EGPB 3871 ft long so a bit below your 6000 ft and RWY 09 they flew is LOC only so higher MDA
So a 332L2 coming out of cloud with 125 knots at MDA wouldn't be able to stop with ground distance plus 3.781ft. of concrete.
There is a different feel at 120 compared with 80. I used to open my window on finals offshore because I then had an instant Audio ASI. The same technique when looking over the side of the cockpit in a Tiger Moth. Even with the windows closed you will notice an unexpected change of performance.
You notice when it goes quiet. You pay more attention to how the aircraft feels when doing anything and if it doesn't feel or sound right there is something going wrong.
Kept me alive for forty-eight years.
