From the ATC recording, the FO sounds extremely shaky after the disastrous take-off. Not surprising, of course, but I'd be interested to know if the FO was nervous BEFORE take-off, ie was he having a bad time in the cockpit?
There's something about the Captain asking "I assume that's not enough?" that bothers me. It's a pointless question to ask ATC. I think he's really probing to see if ATC will insist they track round again to D6, or if they'll let him away with it. So I suspect he was happy to take off from D5, which would make me wonder if they did much in the way of recalculation.
It's the controller who says that, not the captain.
