Boeing 737 skids off runway in Jacksonville
#51
I've operated airliners on arresting gear runways. If the gear is deployed, we would not do a landing or TO roll over the gear. I could taxi over it slowly to get into position, or to exit the runway but we always planned basically coming to essentially a stop or slow walk prior to crossing the gear. Not sure how the airliner-based mil platforms deal with it.

Sad. Another individual who has no clue about what he’s talking about. I never said it was my job, I was constantly asked why I was here so I stated I was a investor for Boeing. I wanted to get info about certain things. But what best place to get that? Maybe a place with pilots? I’m not trusting media as they’re talking like pilots all of the sudden. I’m not even sure how you decided to come up with that comment, it’s like you purposely cherry pick. I wouldn’t be surprised.
You need to go away.

You lied, then? This is how you want to be known?
You're clearly not what you claim, and you sound a lot like a reporter. You're not one of the airliners.net nimrods, are you?

Asymmetrical reverse is assumed when one T/R is inoperative. The performance penalty is just under 500' of landing distance with one T/R inop. The yaw is minimal.
The speed looks about right for the conditions but would depend on their actual landing weight. At max landing weight Vref would be around 151kts plus a max wind additive of +15kts.
Where did you see that they landed at other than idle? The 3 seconds for the speed brakes to extend would also be normal, especially considering a wet runway.
The real key here is the braking action. If there was moderate or heavy rain associated with the storm, on the ungrooved runway, Medium, or worse, braking action would be expected. At Medium, required runway would likely have been over 9,000' (depending, again, on weight). If you only have 7,800' available it isn't going to end well.
