Or if there is no approach to a longer runway but there is to a shorter one. There's an Op Spec for it that talks about crew experience and a bunch of other factors.
So essentially anytime you land under 135 you have to be sure that you can land within 60% of the runway correct? I am being told that because of paragraph E, if one can not make the 60 % rule at his or her destination all one would have to do is list an alternate that you could land within 60% percent of the runway. Because of listing the alternate you are now legally able to land at your destination even though you may require every inch of the runway. To me that defeats the point of the 60 percent rule and doesn't make sense. Any other thoughts?
