160 knots?
Google tells me: "Modern jets land between 120–150 kt. This depends on weight, weather conditions and several other factors."
So even after scratching asphalt for 2/3 of the runway it was still faster than the normal landing speed.
My uneducated gut feeling says pilot was trying to abort the landing.
- sio8ohPi 2y agoNormally they land with flaps down, which reduces landing speed.
- 05 2y agoI've heard sometimes landing gear is also involved.. We really need a placebo controlled double blind study to learn if landing gear is actually effective of just a cargo cult like parachutes.. [0] https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj.k5094 https://www.bmj.com/content/363/bmj.k5094

- loeg 2y agoYes, it was a very fast landing.
- mianos 2y agoThere were no flaps deployed. Without flaps it's going to be a lot faster than a normal landing.
