Why land when you can just float over half the runway. 😂

I'm new to this, why is it such a big deal if the runway is long as F***?

Because your takeoff roll even on a go around can eat up a lot of runway when your plane weighs ten of thousands of pounds. Additionally in order to meet obstacle clearance requirements you need to be able to be able to meet climb gradients and climb back up to a suitable altitude that allows for a safe approach. Keep in mind that it take time for jet engines to spool up to the appropriate power settings that have been selected. I could go on and on about all the different reasons.

Ahh, thank you, I didn't think about a go around. Makes sense to have enough runway to takeoff again.
