Key Takeaways:

  • Landing long is a significant aviation safety concern, frequently leading to runway excursions, overruns, or go-arounds due to insufficient stopping distance.
  • Key contributing factors include unstabilized approaches (excessive speed or altitude), poor energy management, pilot complacency, and environmental conditions like tailwinds.
  • Prevention emphasizes strict adherence to stabilized approach criteria, accurate landing performance calculations, and the willingness to execute a go-around when an approach is compromised.
