Went to BUR after the incident and jotted down some real world numbers. Obv our data will be different because I’ve no idea what their ldg weight was.

We were in a -700 with a ldg weight of 123.0 with 138 pax. ATIS reporting clm winds (went to a 6 kt tailwind at 500’ that went away in the flare), landing rwy 8.

Flaps 40 data had a 132 kt approach speed. Didn’t need auto brakes but Max gave a 1200’ stopping margin.

Reran numbers while in cruise. No data returned with a 10 kt tailwind and 5/5/5 or 4/4/4 at our weight. Reran with 115k ldg weight: No tailwind and 5/5/5 gave around 600’ with auto brake Max. 10 kt tailwind and dry gave 880’ stopping margin with Max auto brakes.

Was a little sobering seeing the ruts in the EMAS as we taxied by. We were wondering if they skidded off centerline or swerved trying to avoid the red/white painted blast fence. The final report will be a interesting read.
