All the best for a rapid recovery Eric. It's no fun being in hospital, so get yourself home as soon as possible, the MT world needs you!!

[quote="Wirralman"]Glorious now Steve but has been claggy most of the day. Read aaib June report on Falcon rto and overrun at Durham .fascinating stuff, hit the crow and take off with damage or abort.? The hindsight Harry's have had a field day[/quote]

Its always the problem when the armchair experts sit and in the comfort of their chairs and pontificate on how they would have done it and it would all have been fine!! It's us at the front looking out the window that have to make the snap decisions! I have 2 seconds between rotation and lift off in my aircraft to make that type of decision.....

I reckon the crew did a fine job, no damage to aircraft, but questions about how many prior rto the pilot had made, speculation about what crows do, spurious stats about long haul pilots' rto, should the aircraft have been operating from that airfield in the first place. As you say split second decisions are demanded. The cattle in the back ,myself included, don't appreciate the skill. I find the AAIB reports fascinating reading, the if only discussion etc
