You also see EMB-145s, DC-9s, A320s, B737s, B757s, B767s, B777s, and B747s doing the circle-to-land runway 29 at EWR. Yes, B747s. Subracting the displaced threshold, 29 at EWR is not 6800 feet long. You'll have about 5400' for the rollout on 29. At MDW on 31C, you'll have 4925' for the rollout. Not sure about 35 at PHL, since I do not have my Jepps. But I'm sure they were fine, since they have an OPC (On-Board Performance Computer) behind the pilot seats to check landing performance data. Now they check it without thrust reverse as well, from what I understand, due to the MDW accident.
