“Landed short..”
So I just finished my first flight of two and we landed seemingly normal to me. It was a hard break but nothing that weird. We stopped a few feet from the gate and the pilot came on and asked us to remain seated with seatbelts fastened as “we landed a few feet short of minimum stopping distance and I have to call company.”
they let us off the plane like 5 minutes later so it’s kinda confusing to me what that was even about lol |
Check the brakes to make sure they weren't too hot?

Probably didn't want men and machinery too close to the red hot brakes until they cooled down a bit.

Hot brakes can and do catch fire.

Well doesn't the Flight Computer say"Minimums"? I thought there is a proximity warning when you are about to hit the minimum length of the runway. For a shorter runway you need a longer breaking distance vs a longer runway made for a 747 a 737 needs a shorter stopping range. A 747 on a short runway would be dangerous hence why you need at least 11,000 feet. When SJC had a 8,000 Ft runway AA had a DC 10 flying to Japan an they needed to refuel at OAK because of the weights and balances for the shorter runway.

You're post makes no sense. All things being equal, why would a plane take more distance to stop just because the runway was shorter? :confused:

The shortest runway at DAL is 7752' or 1 1/2 miles long. Field elevation 487' MSL. Unlikely runway length was a consideration.

They might have have been asked by ATC to do so for some reason.
