...land long and hot, it would seem a simple thing to add power and GO AROUND especially when there is a bay at the end of the runway. First reaction. Maybe we will hear what the problem was and maybe not, since the accident investigation results may be a while in coming and will be old news.
I’ve investigated a good number of runway overruns by military jets. It’s downright maddening that their community has this weird taboo against adding power and going around. A significant number of them die because they don’t want to be made fun of back at squadron ops. It’s downright assinine and I’ve pissed them off when I’ve briefed it in Safety forums. Especially when I’ve shown up with an anti-skid data download.
