That's an excellent counter example!
In this case, the motion is directly being affected by the wheels contact on the conveyor-belt. The actual stopping distance travelled relational to the belt itself would be the same as an actual runway (assuming the same friction coefficients), but the relative distance to a fixed point off the belt would be less since the belt would push the plane back.
