An aircraft with a landing velocity of 79m/s is to touchdown at the start of a 2300m useable runway. If the aircraft plans to decelerate at a rate of 1.2m/s^2, is the runway enough to bring the aircraft to a full stop? If not, what does the landing aircraft need to adjust? Yes, the runway is enough No, the runway is not enough. Increase landing velocity No, the runway is not enough. Increase the rate of deceleration. O No, the runway is not enough. Land anyway.
