This was really interesting. Whenever I fly into Burbank (as a passenger) I always get the feeling that the runway is too short. The jet shudders and vibrates really bad. It seems like it's bad for a jet to have to stop on short runway. You know?
Runway 8 (which is normally used for arrivals) is on the shorter side, but pilots always run their performance numbers to make sure the aircraft has enough available runway to stop.
And over the years you have proven correct. There have been over-runs landing on 8, but they are also extremely rare, like most incidents involving commercial aircraft operations.
Awesome job!

Lol right. My first time flying into Burbank caused anxiety as a passenger. Now that I know, I prefer the Burbank Airport over the others.
It's one weird airport, especially the fact there's no taxiway between the runway and the pax terminal. Runway straight off to the ramp..
2:19 Freeway mentioned in video says US 101, its actually CA 134.
not just US 101, but US 101 and CA 134
Burbank is the only airport in LA with a rail connection
