FAA Takes Aim at Preventing Aborted Landing Accidents
Agency recommends SOPs for aircrew to determine a point after touchdown where a go-around will not be initiated.

Safety statistics show that runway excursions are the most common type of business aircraft accidents, accounting for some 33 to 40 percent of all mishaps. While most runway excursions involve overrunning the end of the runway and are usually survivable, others, typically with far more serious results, involve failed attempts to abort the landing with the intention of making a go-around.
