The feedback is my reward.

The thread had run off on two tangents, threshold crossing height and techniques, plus data usability from public domain. Back on track now?

Runway overruns are rather simple physics. Either the landing is deep, excess energy is carried, or braking performace is degraded. Typically any single one is not sufficient enough to cause an exursion. A 737 touched down in Jamaica, December 2009, with 162 kt GS, 4100 feet past the THR and thrust well above idle - then the result becomes inevitable.

In this case, however, the FR24 data (to be verified if accurate) show optimal if not shorter touchdown position, and quite normal, stable speed. What is little perplexing, is that for the 65% of overall ground run no speed reduction is recorded.
