Was reading a number of 737 overrun cases the last few weeks. Just wondering if there was a good picture of an actual overrun through an EMAS when Mr Pence obliged.

Interesting to read in those reports how the NTSB covered post-dispatch-release and post-takeoff landing performance assessment issues already for a number of years, and @Airbubba pointing out that the FAA is following up.

For those interested. The spoiler issues from literature (at least from what i am reading) amongst others shows a number of important issues. First arming spoilers at all, and second armed spoilers automatically deploying but retracting again, and third automatically retracting spoilers with or without the crew manually deploying them again.

Will be interesting to compare for instance the case of American Airlines 1420 (MD82) of 1999 with the present case.
