I would think that anything after V1, makes the "airborne" part, semantics.Beertini said:The aircraft that crashed in Alaska years ago was actually an AWACS. It ingested (21 I think) Canadian geese into the #1 and #2 engines while on takeoff roll and subsequently crashed after continuing the takeoff. Sorry, but that accident isn't a good example for airborne bird strike discussions.

Thedude said:The test they did was flawed and they addmitted it on a later show. They were firing a frozen chicken and a PA-28 window.
If you have ever seen the FAA video of the real testing you would have known this was bull from the get go. Large a/c windows are multi-layered and are heated which makes the a little more flexable than you standard windscreen.
I used to love coming in from off shore into JFK and being able to keep the speed up to at least 300kts.

As my screen name suggests, We used to fly the beech at 248 kts to 2.8 dme. Back then I had forgotten about the little 200 within 4 rule. Now I tame it down a bit. But man the controllers loved us.
mdanno808 said:I am not sure where the 250 below 10 rule came from in the US, but it is definitely not a world wide thing. One things for sure, unless you're paid by the hour (which I am not) the faster you fly the more your hourly wage ends up being.
