V2 to MSA or Accelerate to VFS????

...and that right there should be the last word...

Are you saying your favorite word, is the last word? LOL

I never understood leveling at 400 ft. But if that's what the book says, I guess you have to do it.

When I went to DC-9 school (1980), our book said level off, clean up, and set MCT at 900 feet on a V1 cut. Of course, someone asked "why not an even 1000 feet?" The answer we got was that 900 feet was all you could reach within the 5-minute takeoff thrust limit (worst case for our stations).

I concur that CAE is teaching V2 to MSA. I got into a big argument with the instructor over it. Now my co-pilot is convinced that V2 to MSA is the way to do it. With APG #s I always held V2 (SE) or V-whatever (with both motors - 14 deg nose up and take whatever speed I got) to their custom acceleration height then cleaned up. I think this V2 to MSA thing is gonna bite somebody.

Your CO-PILOT? Um, LD, you are the co-pilot!

No......I couldn't picture this....

I'm also the more experienced guy. Duh. We all die as crews not individuals.

BURN. Sweet. Confucious say, "Don't run mouth if someone knows you lie."

Uh......who was lying?It was no secret.

If this comes down to a shootout at the OK corral in Hickville Texas my vote is on SPX - he's a wicked shot with his Kimber - LD sports an junky old SIG 9mm.

.357 Sig these days. SPX is so tiny he isn't even strong enough to lift a hangun. DILF would have to shoot me *for* him.
