... The wind speeds and directions are actuals for the approch times. There was no tailwind and other flight landed normally.
Out of interest, I was informed that an A320 landed, after the A380 go arounds, carrying an extra 20kt IAS. I'm guessing for increased control authority and gust protection, my point is how much extra speed would an A380 add to the approach and would that be enough, all things considered, to trigger the "Runway too Short" warning?

Just curious.
