FLI touches on the points I raise quite nicely, but so far no one seems to really appreciates the full significance of onshore PC2 exposure time as a concept. We are not talking about using 332s to lift 412 cabin loads etc, we are talking about using using class 2 performance criteria to take off from a site where in fact there is no suitable reject area for a significant portion of the take off profile.
Nick, I appreciate what you are saying but please also remember that what we have to operate to, regardless of the client or operator, is some logical and justifiable arena of operation that we can justify to the proverbial "subsequent board of enquiry." Generic discussion of engine reliability does not hold sway in court; regulatory documents will.
