    I see an honest, gusty crosswind- some tailwind component, but the crosswind is nothing that doesn’t regularly occur.

    Av Herald [Edit: On the day of this posting] doesn’t say much as to why they went off the end

      Let's see here, short (very for a 74) runway, TW component, offered the other runway and turned it down, probably landed long, can't wait to hear what he had set for auto-brakes.

        Ahhh, sarcasm.

        Short runway and tailwind, and longer runway available.

        At least decide to plant it timely...even though parlour talking amateurs will admonish the Pilots for not choosing a better runway.

          Tailwind component was 5 to 8 knots. Sure that was not the only factor causing the plane to overrun to 50, not 100, not 200 but 600 ft.

            At what runway length?

              Never mind. 5 to 8 knots of tailwind will NEVER be the only or even main reason why the plane overruns the runway by 600 ft at ANY runway length.
              It may increase the overrun distance just a bit, but not anywhere close to 600 ft. Remove one zero.

                600 feet less than necessary!
                Be alert! America needs more lerts.

                  Just heard from a friend there that the same Captain in the same aircraft went off the end of the runway in Honolulu earlier this year.

                    Kinda eye rolling.

                    Shall I enter brakes-that-don't-quite-work-right and a-maintenance-department-that-doesn't-really-fix-them-to-the-best-of-standards (combined) as one of the possible contributing factors...

                    ...or is the dude a doofus who would probably be better replaced by me or Gabe and our whopping 300 total hours.

                            From the comments on that video:
                            I landed on RWY 14 about 3 hours before this happened. It was pretty bad weather raining with gusting winds in excess of 30 knots almost direct crosswind. The reason they did not land on 23 is because the ILS was inop and the lightning system for that runway was also not functioning.

                              Interesting stuff there...

                              It seems that the weather and inoperative ILS and lights may have supported the short runway with the tailwind, ASS-uming the arithmetic supported the runway as long enough.

                              We now need to figure out how much runway they should have needed, if they touched down decently and if all 6000 PSI went straight to the brake pads.
