The actual landing distance is significantly less than what the book shows. I'm not sure why the numbers are as inflated as they are, but they're the ones in the book so that's what we use.

The hilarious part is that we have a table for mechanical failures where you take a default distance and then apply a penalty based on what's broken. According to that table a 70,000lbs ice speed landing with a single break failure takes 4179'. According to our regular landing distance table a 70,000lbs ice speed landing requires 4930' under the same conditions.

In this situation the EYW runway wouldn't be long enough for a regular landing, but would apparently be long enough for a landing with a failed brake.
