(My dispatcher side coming out.) My question is, do they count EMAS in the equation? If you're runway limited and reject, is it planned that you'll go into the EMAS? And if so, what value does EMAS give you? Is 100 feet of EMAS worth 500 feet of normal pavement or what?
EMAS is not counted. Per your definition, "overrun that is stressed for aircraft." The EMAS is NOT stresed for aircraft, that's how it works, by breaking apart due to being run over by 20K plus pounds of aircraft.
