I wouldnt mind getting a copy of that video, I dont know the size of the file buy if you are willing to share then let me know how you can upload it.
Its Interesting and thats what we always do in the SIM, but actual facts are usually different, we dont know yet what speed was RTO originated before the V1 but hats off for the crew for the good work.
I personally had a bird strike on rotation just 2 weeks ago and a loud bang was heard and folks around thought it was a tire failure, high temps / elevation gave us low thrust and had to fly for 1 hour to burn off for the allowed weight for landing, all went well eventually and 8 fan blades got ruptured and loose shingles followed, engine change was done.
I guess its all part of learning !
