CO 737 off runway in DEN

Not to mention take-off weight vs. landing weight when discussing high-speed rejects vs. continuing. That is where brake energy will bite you.

?relaxation of x-wind correction and transitioning to tiller at high speeds?

If you're using the tiller at high speeds you're doing it wrong. Way too sensitive.

Exactly. There's a reason the pedals only have 7 degrees of authority over the nosewheel. Much more than that and you lose traction on the nosewheel (like a locked tire). That's why the manual says not to use the tiller above taxi speeds.

Why don't you fuc#$%^ idiots take a deep breath and wait for the investigation results. BACK AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD.

It always amazes me, Mr. B how many pilots are eager to armchair "analyze" an accident and how many of them are totally wrong when the NTSB report comes out.

I believe the FO has stated that they were somewhere between 85-95 knots when things started to happen. If you are at V1 with 8,000 feet remaining is aborting a bad thing? Not trying to start an argument, just being hypothetical.

The runway doesn't get any wider.

Most of the incidents on rejected takeoffs at high speed involve the aircraft departing the side of the runway, rather than the end.

Just another thing to consider when you contemplate aborting takeoff above V1.

If only we could clone these "monday morning quarterbacks", there would be no more accidents.

Some pictures of the airplane in DEN. Very sobering I think.

I found #60 interesting. It looks like one of the passengers pulled out the emergency briefing card for one last check before heading out the door. I wonder what #51 was (missing from the stack).

Its interesting that the left engine didn't suffer any rotational damage, yet the DFDR shows it was operating.
