The importance of decision making, #49, #51; I agree.
However, decision making depends on good information. Airbus has been very proactive in generating new, more realistic landing performance; has Boeing done this yet (AC25.32 para 11)?
European operations (EASA) plan to used improved runway braking assessment and reporting; has this been implemented (also in AC 25.32 as guidance for US operations)?
Also sound decision making depends on judgement; not "can we land in these conditions" (book figures), "should we be landing, what if the runway conditions are worse than reported, what then is the distance safety margin and the last acceptable point of touchdown".
