Somebody asked why, with both engines supplying full power, the aircraft couldn't still climb
FGD

1. The whole Essendon incident occurred in 12 seconds. a) I don't think that fits with the meaning that the SIM pilot was meaning when he said "your leg WILL give out...." and b) as noted above, I believe this refers to the 140 Kt condition. I don't believe this refers to the 100 - 112 kt (ish) speeds of this flight. I think the SIM pilots comment " The yaw on take-off was manageable" refers to this flight condition.

Secondly, the ATSB side slip angle calculation and hypothesis is seriously flawed.
