Narrative:

During approach to runway 36 at dca with surface winds of 50 degrees at 5 KTS, ATIS report of tailwinds at altitude. I was asked by center and approach to keep my speed up 'because you are #1 to the field.' I was unable to slow the aircraft sufficiently and during landing was unable to stop on the runway with maximum braking, maximum reverse thrust and full ground spoiler. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter captain states the aircraft was a B737-100 and ran off the end of runway 36 about 50 yds, blowing both tires and causing some engine damage. The surface wind was a quartering headwind, but tailwind at higher altitude.

Narrative: DURING APCH TO RWY 36 AT DCA WITH SURFACE WINDS OF 50 DEGS AT 5 KTS, ATIS RPT OF TAILWINDS AT ALT. I WAS ASKED BY CTR AND APCH TO KEEP MY SPD UP 'BECAUSE YOU ARE #1 TO THE FIELD.' I WAS UNABLE TO SLOW THE ACFT SUFFICIENTLY AND DURING LNDG WAS UNABLE TO STOP ON THE RWY WITH MAX BRAKING, MAX REVERSE THRUST AND FULL GND SPOILER. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR CAPT STATES THE ACFT WAS A B737-100 AND RAN OFF THE END OF RWY 36 ABOUT 50 YDS, BLOWING BOTH TIRES AND CAUSING SOME ENG DAMAGE.
