Hate getting the ol books out but according to my Pilots Ref Manual it would be quite possible to stop the aircraft on that distance.. Example at 82.5 tons (typical lndwt) flaps 30 at vref30 from 50 ft zero wind at SL and observe, as always no reverse thrust as this is a performance calculation.. The thing would stop at 2453.125 ft
The real trick would be to get the b****rd out of there..
