[3WE]

Indeed on looking like a relatively mild crash- And it doesn’t even look that pancaked.

[3WE]

I think gurrit ate it all....

I think you will find it mildly amusing that we once proposed V-3_BS: The speed at which you can still reject a takeoff, run off the end and have a probably-survivable crash.

It appears to have worked well in this incident....

[3WE]

Nothing? Not even playing the “absolute game”: Bobby has two things* (actually many more things) and ATL has a secret system of checking something.

*Left and right buttocks, (and many takeoffs resulting in a good, albeit fallible, system of checks…)...

[3WE]

Indeed.

Then, again, I know of a lot of agricultural ankle biters....

[3WE]

Those of us here, who are not airline pilots, are often overly bold on what “we” should do in the industry…as if we are part of it, which we are not.

Thanks for playing along on the subject of V-1, messed up takeoffs and what pilots SHOULD do and how “we” would have done better (moderate sarcasm).

The subject is beaten to death every year or so.

I still ponder how we avoid the situation where acceleration is a little bit slow, and you hit V-1 at an extra long distance. ...

[3WE]

Well, weshould probably wait for the final report instead of assuming “stupid pilots”....

[3WE]

Aggie Summary Statements (possible repetition of Gabellian aeroengineerspeak):

Because this involves acceleration, there can be compounding effects. (Is that important, Gabriel?)

So we assume that actual acceleration is close to what it should be.

We assume our safety buffers are adequate.

We assume the weather doesn’t throw big curve balls.

We assume that good data and calculations are used/made.

(And probably a couple more.)

By the way, 3BS is now in violation for multiple misuses of “we” and I anticipate appropriate physical, public punishment along with admonishment from Bobby, ATL and Kent.

I will be happy when said punishment is administered....

[3WE]

As long as you are certain



With one caveat and a few moderately important assumptions.



Indeed, these types of crashes don’t happen that often.



Gabriel has one he’s mentioned before, with some moderately strong emphasis.

I did toy with the idea of an app for a smartphone or some sort of computerized, trend-tracking warning light....

[3WE]

So it’s not a distance?

And I may be a blank Gabriel, but shouldn’t you be blurting an acronym and giving a somewhat lengthy discussion about acceleration, speed and distance relationships and what constitutes reasonable assumptions?...
