Despite warning, Capt lands and bursts all maingear tyres. I thought we were going off the end.
Funny old thing; I never heard another word about it.
JFDI!
Maybe better and safer CRM should have been applied?
'Do you mind if I do my own approach?' - 'Well captain the RVR/wind/etc is xxx and SOP states that we should rather do a monitored'
'YOU'RE' HIGH AND FAST ON A SHORT WET RUNWAY' - ' Speed is Vref plus twenty, slope 1 dot fly down'...'Go Around'
The burst tires and almost over running the runway are as much your fault for not calling the go aroud
