Why can’t we use CATOBAR-adjacent tech on airliners to stop runway overruns in winter ops?
In: 2
a) It isn’t a big problem to begin with.
b) Commercial plane landing gears are not designed for it.
c) Commercial pilots are not trained for it.
So there is the cost of the system itself (for every airport?), the cost and weight penalty to beef up landing gears (if possible? for every aircraft?), the cost of maintaining such a system that will rarely be used and the cost of training pilots.
