Scoops A very interesting article which sent a chill down my spine as I read it.
Lets hope the French publish an open and honest final report and that it doesn't turn into a long drawn out sham A la the Caroline Dickinson murder investigation.
To not re compute take off data with a significant tail wind on an aircraft with a high take off speed must have implications for the groundspeed at Vr(IAS) being close to the tyre speed limit.Probably not a causal factor here as they rotated early anyway. Do the recordings have the tower clearly giving the wind with the take off clearance?
