I thought Planesense operates with two pilots? The report only mentions one female pilot.

Okay, back on topic now thats cleared up. If you're shooting an ILS there's a DH, at that point if you dont have the runway you go missed. Usually that point is well before the threshold so, how did these pilots shoot an approach and eat up that much runway?

How the hell would we know?

Fast? High? Leaky hydraulic system? Missing screw on the break pads? Wind shear? Faulty throttle quadrant? Faulty FCU? Faulty ADC? Bug in pitot static system? Grease spill on runway? Airforce KC-135 doing a runup towards active runway? Fluid dripping on tires in fight? Mechanical linkage failure from toe pedals to breaks? Pilot ankle fracture? Act of God?

Okay, the last one is not likey. But really, how would anyone here know? Ask the NTSB in a few months.
