Gday,
In a previous life, I have done 2 successive RTO's due to the TKOF Config warning. Each time we cleared the runway, ran through a scan of all trigger items, again ran all checklists to see if we had missed the bleedin obvious.
Very bemused we returned to the gate. Once investigated, it was found the warnings were generated by a micro switch, which measures condition lever angle, that had collapsed.(Damn Turboprops)
We have all missed things at times, that is why we have 2 pilot aeroplanes, checklists and Config Warning systems.
No foul in this case, as mentioned earlier, the system worked. And, the chaps at the pointy end would indeed be very self critical if an error was made in this area. No one would take an omission like that lightly, we have all seen the outcome of attempted Flapless takeoffs.
Cheers,
Con
