The problem is the vertical cat A profile itself for the 189. A slow climb to 110ft TDP does not take into account the carnage going on beneath you. This is not the first and it won't be the last especially if we are always expecting a donk to stop at a critical point. Maybe we need to look at the reliability of modern engines versus damage created due to take off profiles.
