The female cops were either scared to knock on the door, or intimidated into not knocking, or did not think it was that unusual to hear screaming-- whatever the case may be, they are a disgrace to the uniform and cannot be trusted to save lives when it matters most.UKDiva
If he was taking off he would have been at full power, so how could he accelerate?ROY
Oh dear, I hate to write this comment but something is niggling me. It appears to me that he had already reached the critical commitment point and would have been unable to stop. He then had no choice but to turn on the power and try to complete his take off and clear the obstacle aircraft.I fully accept that experts have examined this and reached their conclusion so perhaps I am misinterpreting what I have seen of it but it is how it appears to me.My_OpinionReply toROY
Your assumptions are fairly correct, please allow me to answer what niggles you. The commitment point had passed, but the designated take off location would have been just beyond the crossing aircraft. However, seeing the aircraft crossing, knowing there was no time to contact the ATC to inform them to speed up the crossing aircraft, and knowing he couldn't stop or turn the aircraft to safety, he knew that in applying full power to his aircraft he would achieve take off speed sooner, but the downside was he would need to undertake a steep climb rate (all passengers & crew are seated and belted). In undertaking the steep climb he also avoided prolonged jetwash from his engines blowing the crossing aircraft to bits. Another thing is, what we watched is a simulation, and maybe under exaggerated rather than over exaggerated. I hope that helps?Ian Bell
So while on full thrust for take-off he decided to accelerate... How did he do that then? Freddie Flintstone style or?Ian BellReply toIan Bell
I'm a pilot BTW (admittedly single prop) but I know that since the days of Freddie Laker and his 75% thrust takeoffs on long runways and subsequent shallow climb, planes go maximum thrust for takeoff to gain maximum altitude early in the case of an emergency return being required..Manilva
Fair play to the pilot but why on Earth reward the cabin crew with£71K? They wouldn't have been aware of what had happened until informed about it.AiredalePete
Whoever was the air traffic controller in charge of the aircraft that was landing must never work for another airline again. Sadly, he or she will - and the next emergency might not end as happily as this one.评论
