In case they had an issue with the brakes they actually did pretty good.
At the end of the landing roll the deceleration was less than what you would expect with 3000PSI on the brakes, even on a slightly wet runway. |

I suspect that the Americans can manage spelling and punctuation though. More than some "superior beings" can manage.

Can you present unequivocally accurate data showing the crew was American ? |
Never heard of them, I'm a US pilot. But there by the grace of God go I, ? |

From the hiring page. "Restrictions* Must hold valid EU Passport / Citizenship. * Must have legal right to live and work in Europe. * Must hold JAA/EASA Pilot Licence and Medical. " Oh snap! |
How did you conclude it was a "usa pilot"?

JanetFlight. Nice one! That should be required viewing on all recurrent checks.
|
Even by the standards often seen here, OP's post staggers me by its rudeness. If you replace US with gender, race or religion it would be illegal in much of the western world. Why have we descended so low?

Its obvious whats happened here; and clearly a European problem. The (alleged) US Pilots performed a textbook landing. Your Europen Runway is obviously in the wrong place. Please, move it 2000' in the direction of landing and update via NOTAM. Best A US/European Pilot |
So anymore info on whether the crew flying the aircraft was/were Americans?
