Easy, one you can walk away from. What is a great landing? One that will allow the aircraft to be used again. The flying public defines a good landing as one in which you touch down like a feather. Our passengers will judge every landing, and the chances of a runway excursion, even with a poor technique, is rare. That can lead to us being more touchdown rate aware, rather than touchdown point aware. Our crew debrief should include an assessment of touchdown point. The \u201cbest\u201d touchdown would be one that was just shy of a bounce if you are trying to dissipate energy (for a visualization, think Navy Carrier Landing). Is there a transcendental influence that overrides the physics of landing because of the metaphysics of landing? In other words, does the flying public\u2019s definition of a good landing (a soft one), carry forward into the cockpit to the extent that pilots forget the physics of landing? Many overrun runway excursions are attributed, in part, to the pilot\u2019s lack of awareness of the energy state of the aircraft compared to the runway remaining. Perhaps those pilots were landing like they normally do on a long, dry runway, going for the greaser and not paying attention to speed and runway remaining. Is a stabilized approach really the key to reducing the number of overrun excursions, or can it be pushed down one level to a concept called a \u201cStabilized Landing?\u201d Sure, a stabilized approach is a worthy goal, but the reality is that most (97% according to industry researchers) of the approaches that could be categorized as unstable are continued to landing and very few of those result in an overrun. Why? There are several things that contribute, but the pilot is aware and compensates for the instability of the approach and\/or there is a long runway that helps mitigate the risk. Another, and perhaps more disturbing, trend is the aircraft that fly a stabilized approach and still experience an overrun."}
