Pilots Discretion. I would say in most cases you should continue departure after V1. I would only RTO after V1 if I was certain there was an issue that made the aircraft unable to fly. In the case of the guys flying with the stick shaker all the way, here is my thought... If the shaker activates...

Exactly. I could tell you many cases where the shaker went off and it was no issue with the aircraft, it was an issue with the shaker and associated sensors. It is a "land asap" item, but not a "slam on the brakes and go into the ditch" item.

I love this thread! :goofy:

Oh Brother! The fact that you are challenging and mocking what a man did and prayed in the last SECONDS of his life is ridiculous. Have some empathy.

I will keep my extinguisher thank you very much

Yeah, still not getting it. Redundancy in safety equipment means you can't handle a small emergency. I am not sure if you are being sarcastic. Just like in the story, why not have an extinguisher on hand if you are cranking and you have a fire? Or any other scenario where a fire pops up that can...

Something ain't right there. I have had similar experiences... Not this extreme but with "wannabe pilots" way over there heads. My question though is why is it stupid to have a fire extinguisher in your plane? Just curious.

How are they powered?

Canada has joined the countries that have grounded the Aircraft.

Business class plus nice airplane for domestic flying is the way to go.

LOL this made me laugh

Yep, that is the root of it for me as well.

Its a rough dream... auguring it in... usually wake up right before impact. The other one I have is driving way too fast on a mountain road and going right off the cliff. Again, wake up before auguring it in. Lets keep those things in the dream world.

The difference between swimming with that lovely mesh that's in a bathing suit, and without. The difference between the breeze and sun with a bathing suit and without. Not all about the scenery (Real People, not airbrushed, Men and Woman)

Big Ugly Airplane... the 747 is graceful and in my opinion a head turner. We still see a few here at my airport. There is still time to go for a ride on one if you have not!

Beautiful photos and airplane

Oh dear.... RIP Oppy. It is sad to read about that. The little guy did a good job.... 15 years. Wow.

Exactly.... but typically you do tell your instructor whats going on. Absolutely, I could have cheated as well with my own aircraft... I would not have...especially on a nasty night.

I agree that sometimes "you don't know what you don't know" but as a Student making a required flight there is usually consultation with a flight school or instructor. I can't believe that he would be OKed to go on a night flight when the weather was shoddy.... Also, even when I was an extremely...

When I was a fresh PPL and carrying one of my first pilots, I made an error at an Airport with 5 runways all at different headings... no parallels. They cleared me downwind onto one runway.... I screwed up and entered downwind on another runway. Realizing I was "off" the controller quickly...
