Ive done it in the 763, 764, and 787. I’d like to ask the same question.

A loaded up guppy 900ER is probably the most landing performance limited jet in the fleet… but rivaled by the 764, and it’s amazing how quick it’ll stop with a big headwind on 29. However, being focused on the approach and short runway plus big wind vref addition, I’ve always ducked under “a bit,” honestly without real SA on how close that turnpike is. Won’t do that anymore, and I’m grateful it’s a lesson learned that didn’t cost anyone their lives. Hope the crew involved gets back out on the line soon
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. We don’t know they ducked under. We know, literally nothing about how they wound up where they wound up.
