1659' is short enough, though very manageable, BUT, when you let nearly 1100' go by before touching down, that remaining 550'is a bitch.

Well, he recognized that the first one was way off and went around. You would have thought he would have seen that forward slip did not bring him down enough, swallowed some pride and went around again and did a little more that time. Numbers and TD marks are there for a reason.I guess he learned that the hard way.lol

My sympathies with the Archer pilot. Its funny how easy it seems to land just before the numbers and turn off at the 1st taxiway in less than a 800' when the runway is 5000' long. Its a whole 'nother story when the runway is 1600' long...

I've done a 1000 ft landing on 11000' at Westover; I felt really silly when I then realized I had a 2 mile taxi to the FBO!

I've always said that there's no shame in going around, but there can be much embarrassment if you don't. Okay, so you may get a little grief from your buddies if you go around. So what? What do you think they'll be thinking if you bend tin? You can always use the excuse that airline pilots use when they're a bit hot going into Midway in Chicago, and it's happened twice to me: "There was a truck on the runway and we had to go around..."
