    Typically yeah, but I think there was likely enough weight on the engine cowls to make the engines dig in to EMAS. I wonder if it has ever been tested.

      Certainly wouldn’t have hurt, but I don’t think it would have done that much.

      From skybrary:

      Most installations to date have used a maximum 70 knots bed-entry speed.

      …and thats with gear down. I believe the Jeju plane was doing something like 130+ kts off the end of the runway.
