Further, what may be estimable after the fact by those considering the decision and the evidences upon which it was based, is entirely irrelevant to this discussion and to the popularly received concept of speculation and guesswork. Certainly more so to rational, mature, professional discussion of any productive nature, or of any positive worth.

Are you a fracking lawyer?

Far south! There's a special place in hell for us Flightinfo posters.

 

[AV80R]

Honest question here, what is the difference between a rejected takeoff and a aborted takeoff?

Aborted - you simply pull out, rejected - you don't even go there... Oh wait, sorry I thought this was "who's-your-daddy" message board...

 

[AV80R]

Are you a fracking lawyer?

No, he/she works for the dark side and the FAR/AIMish 'plain' English clearly shows it...

- no apparent problem as regards the use of RW 20/02 for this flight - all flight data correctly entered in flight computer
- brief loss of power on one engine at about (sic) V1 associated with loud bang and flames, as confirmed by crew cq witnesses/controller.
- 2 sec after the bang, thrust was reduced to idle - no reverse thrust commanded - vigourous braking started and maintained until final stop
- preliminary on site endoscopic inspection of engines 3 and 4 - although very incomplete - didn t show any damange in the HP or LP compressor, HP turbine nor of the fan blades
- cargo found correctly stowed after impact - actual cargo on board being compared with load sheet data
- no catastrophic structural damage before final impact (4m drop)
- L1 door blocked due to structural damage on impact, 'service' door used to evacuate

FDR and CVR will now be analysed further , and engines will be recovered from the wreckage and further investigated upon.
