1. If we don't need to rethink our approach here, how come we're buckled at the knees after a succession of take-off accidents by high time pilots?
2. So how big a load can you pull of a 600m strip at 2000' on a 32 degree day? Don't look at the book now!
I know, stick 1000 in there and see how it goes. Thats 'professional!
3. Carefully, carefully? Why wouldn't the minute it takes to pull out the manual and check qualify as doing it carefully? It's one thing to say you have a changed ATTITUDE but if you don't change the way you DO things as a result, its just talk.

I KNOW the old way has worked fine 99.999% of the time. Thats all I've ever done. Sounds like you think we should just keep doing it like that and hope this all goes away.

I can just hear the accident investigators questions now.
"What was your T/O weight?"
"What was the maximum weight you could fly off this strip?"
"How did you establish that?"
Be nice to have the answers at least, hey?

Fig Jam? Give us a break.
