Has anyone here ever executed a balked landing?
In my 40 year career, I can look back at two times I should have, but by the grace of God it worked out.

Once in MD-80 in JAX, landing downwind in rain. I was FO, and we litterally had to reverse and do a 3 point turn to get off the runway. I hung out the window and saw less than 2 feet of pavement in front of nose tire.

Second time in EWR, same scenario, with FO flying. Touch down and auto brakes selected. Realized we were not decelerating and applied max everything. Had just enough room at end to do a hard right, and exit.

Point here is we are usually dialed in to landing and sometimes become a passive participant sometime after touchdown.

I have since adopted the conventional landing gear philosophy, that I was taught decades ago.

Runway conditions, winds, aircraft systems and their integration is not an exact science, yet. It still requires some art.

We will likely be thanking those SWA pilots for reminding us we are human artists, and watch each other while we don’t put total faith in the technology.
