WOW! That seem incredible. I thought you guys had thrust reversers and such to help out too. This type of relationship certain doesn't translate in my aircraft and I only have speed breaks to help out (and I don't normally use them), and I am of course talking land based here
.
My regular approach speeds are around 135 kts and I can, and have, comfortably landed at 150+ kts for a variety of reasons and I didn't use 15,000 of extra runway!
I guess I ought to be a little more worried next time I go into San Diego that the crew is flying right at the required approach speed because that runway looks awfully short enough!
