Landed @ vref at KSNA, ILS approach, engine idled upon touch down, spoilers activated, thrust reversers full, brakes applies, aircraft would not slow down and crashed off runway

Its only a suggestion, but change our brakes to the carbon type?? What you describe "could" be attributed to overheated brakes, or brake fade.. Just a thought..Pam

You're a terrible pilot !! lol.

I did the same flight earlier, I should have been able to exit the third taxiway. What I'm trying to say is that even with full brakes, full reverse thrust, and spoilers deployed, the aircraft only slowed 25 knots from the runway threshhold to the end of the runway. With reverse thrust I could have been able to come to a full stop using reverse thrust and no brakes.

LOL, ya, 19R at KSNA is SHORT , still sounds like something went wrong withthe landing... now you got me curious, I've taken off there already (I like the CHANL1SID) but not a landing, I'll try one tonight.

Dont't worry,David.You are not alone in this. I too had it happen to me landing at EIDW.Correct Vref,correct flaps,etc,etc and yet even with Auto-Brake 3 setting selected,reverse thrust selected, I still ran off. Upon taxi-ing back to the stand I could not even engage the brakes.There have been posts about brakes overheating.Could be but I'm not all that convinced as I have not had this problem at other runways including in the tutorial. I thought it might have been my registered FSUPIC settings for joystick but they were not set for this aircraft. Strange.

Hi, That's what happens when you come in to hot, you run out of real estate. You also make all the passengers go -> or worse they become ->. Just kidding, you could try using carbon brakes and see if that reduces the stopping distance. If your that hard on the brakes, you could turn brake failure off. If there is such a setting, I haven't looked myself.

Oh, that was you in news today :) Lj. Prodanovic

I've been in and out of SNA lots of times (real world) ...757's land/take-off there all the time so I'm sure your 737 can handle it. And for the record, when you land at SNA the pilots brake very hard!

Brake fail, happened to me to, by the time I realized what was going on, and slapped full reverse thrust to her, I just BARELY got it stopped at the end of a 12,000 foot runway. Reset the failure when I got to the gate, and away I went again.

This can happen to you!!!

Also Carbon brakes wont fade but they might explode hehe.

And Finaly the French having issues with the A340, Its quite amusing to watch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRzWp67PIMw

Just had this happen to me as well landing into Heathrow with Autobrake 2 set, seems fine with Autobrake 1?

Try without the Southwest livery. (I know they don't fly 800s) ;-)

Where is the carbon brake setting option?

It happened to me also while landing at Congonhas AIrport ( SBSP ) using Autobrakes 2. Maybe because it didn't stop as fast as I expected and then when under 80 knots I applied manual braking, I really didn't except a real 737 brake temp to go from 0 to 10 and have no braking efficiency at all so fast, it all happened in under 4 seconds
