Excellent remarks. Resilience or more correctly the ability to be resilient is one of the greatest quality of a human being. but it is just a new buzz word for what we have been doing since we drop down from the trees. It is however more about thinking outside of the box to resolve something new that falling back to experience. Resilience is not a fall back procedure or an instinct. In our jobs it is thinking fast and solving something we have not been confronted with before or which is not in the training. If you get it right you will be possibly creating a new best practice , if you get it wrong you may die. Back to our case here, if the parameters given to us by FR24 are proven to be correct, a 777 on take off staying on a runway past 200 Kts defy understanding and was most probably a new situation to both pilots , but it does not look that it was resilience that saved them. That said, I cannot believe that this incident was simply a PF looking down and a PM absent minded. there must be something else.
