This has nothing to do with management.
On the a380 below 500ft on approach, you respect any amber warning "IF WET:RWY TOO SHORT" like you would the STALL warning.
It's highlighted and boxed in the manufacturers FCOM, "...the flight crew must perform a go-around".
Above 500ft, the FMS landing system, BTV, bases the landing performance on the figures entered. These static figures will say landing distance OK (as we know EK have been landing 380's at MAN for years).
Below 500ft the landing system uses live flight, weather and a/c parameters; weight, speed, altitude, AC position and wind.
Therefore if you get a "........TOO SHORT" message, then the runway is, funnily enough TOO SHORT.
