If he had reasonable suspicions to believe that it was a bomb, then wouldn't it be more important to stop the aircraft at ANY speed, rather than take off with an airframe that could fall apart within seconds?amizzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12542237962374246520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-25216521232221639412008-03-06T12:31:00.000+00:002008-03-06T12:31:00.000+00:00I don't know whether this has had an airing here. ...I don't know whether this has had an airing here. I wonder what the pre-takeoff brief was in this aircraft and what they were thinking of as they completely failed to get to 35 feet by the end of the strip:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWtdtuspnoM<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/><BR/>MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10000144.post-74294985613555931112008-03-06T08:34:00.000+00:002008-03-06T08:34:00.000+00:00"...There is an allowance -- to recognize the engi..."...There is an allowance -- to recognize the engine failure and to react..."<BR/><BR/>After some cases of aircraft over-running the runway even when the pilot did things "right," this reaction time was increased by a second or two under later FAA definitions.<BR/><BR/>Another point of interest is that the standard definitions used for certification are predicated on an engine failure. However, statistically there is a greater chance that a rejected takeoff will be triggered by a tire failure. Which is never factored into the data.<BR/><BR/>Oh well. Ya pays yer money and ya takes yer chances...<BR/><BR/>Good explanations as always. Thanks for the review!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
