Thanks, your work is impeccable.
The problem started at run up, and was underway as they rolled onto the runway without stopping, cleared for an immediate departure.
They should have been at five hundred before turning but already the performance and airworthiness were deeply degraded, all the a/c could do was an anemic climb, and start an uncommanded turn, right.
Everything I propose, and the destination I have, is taken from the report itself.
Take it apart, challenge it, it would be welcome.
