So what is suggested here is some type of runway cross acceleration check?
How about an EPR cross check prior to block.
This crew was obviously tired and missed some things.
EPR was one of them.
Could have happened to any of us.
Hind sight is always 20/20.
As far as an acceleration check I dont think this will come to pass.
Unless you have unreliable airspeed instruments that the MEL requires you to do.
All though if this was added as a techniqe then it would help.
But how many pilots would be looking down at this point instead of the airspeed indicator and the engine instruments and other scans.
Much easier to check the EPR?
But then again you can never have enough information.
