My question is in relation to this. My understanding, as a new pilot, is that what often happens in an overshoot is that the touchdown point is far past the point where they're supposed to touch down. In fact, as a new pilot, I know that I have to do overshoots sometimes, and I land in the middle of a runway, and obviously I can't do that, because I don't have enough time to stop. Isn't it true that most overshoots, in fact all overshoots, are a result of the touchdown point being too far down the runway for a plane to brake safely or stop safely?
