Data needed for judgement.

1. Touchdown point, this one is a biggie.
2. Wind direction and speed
3. Approach speed and speed at touchdown
4. Runway conditions
5. Mechanical failures if any
6. Were they flying an instrument approach or visual?
7. Was the pilot executing the approach being properly monitored by the second pilot during the approach?
8. Voice recorder of what was being said or “not said” during the entire landing sequence.

The Air Force has all eight above. They know what happened but we do not. In my opinion the pilots screwed up. The fact they are female is irrelevant. Males run off the end of the runway also. I have known many excellent female pilots.

You forgot #9. They may have been looking to “catch a wave, and your sittin on top of the world”.

But the only waves at that time were the ones they made. But they did get the world’s attention, so there’s that.
