Reaction To B737 Runway Overrun In Jamaica
The NTSB has issued a series of safety recommendations to the
FAA in response to an incident in which an American Airlines B737
overran the end of the runway on landing in Kingston, Jamaica in
December 2009. The aircraft landed approximately 4,000 feet down
the 8,911-foot-long, wet runway with a 14-knot tailwind component
and was unable to stop on the remaining runway length.
