That's pretty low, from an ex-Mesa, now a big guy Westie.

Florida Gulf was never a PFT outfit.....

PSA was

A highspeed abort on a 6,200 ft runway? At the highspeed regime at CRW, unless a wing fell off, I'm going.........

They don't call it Yeager Airport for nothin'!

I always understood the T/O data to include the use of the stopway, or in this case, the EMAS. In short, I fealt that C.W. was a departure not to be aborted unless a wing fell off..............

Installing EMAS would actually do more damage to an airframe at several airports rather than the grass at the end. It's too expensive and very impractical for many airports. If the ASA 700 would have used the EMAS at SAV, it would have torn some stuff up good (gear doors, struts, belly skin, etc.). With the grass at the end, it probably just needed to be hosed off and given an inspection with few, if any, broken parts as a result............

Agreed about EMAS. It's purpose is really for a larger safety margin for places where you can't get a 1000' over run..MDW... or where the end of the runway meets with water...BOS. Places like ATL have LOTS of room for overruns.

Regarding V1s. We at JB call it at -5.

Thank god that stuff stopped them. We don't need another fatal mess at all.

Without that EMAS they would have stopped down by the river.

From what I understand they were almost stoppped when they went into the EMAS

Define "almost".

Almost doesn't count when theres a 500 foot dropoff.
