Delta stuck in mud at DCA!!

[DYLIN]

If your numbers are right then you should be able to abort before V1 and stop your plane. Any speed after V1 you better fly that dog!!!

Well, of course.

I think we all know what V1 is.

My point, which you may have misunderstood, is that you don't know how accurate the numbers are and why not use all available runway.

Nice try you PFT troll! Keep updating your app for Delta. In the meantime, enjoy flying with former Air Tran guys who didn't have to buy their job at SW! At least they'll keep you from runway overshoots you guys have become so good at!

Another lame PFT post! Get some new material bud, yours is quite old. :beer:

Then you would know those numbers are conservative and not based in using reverse if you abort before V1. I hear a bunch of Md80's are running off runways during take offs also

I am guessing your not a SWA Pilot.

They could have benefited from doing the ever so made fun of "747" turn.

The 88 and 90 have a loooong wheel base.

It's sooo long, that when "position and hold", extending the nose to the runway edge, then using full tiller to bring it back around on to the centerline, isn't enough. You will find that you are still not on the centerline when you roll out.

And you want as much concrete as possible, especially during a flaps 5 takeoff!
