RE: V1/V2 - I am aware that V1 is the decision speed. Obviously, once you've passed V1 you have to go. But I said V2, which is the safe climb speed. My question is: what happens if your engine fails after V1 but before V2? Can you still climb away safely?

The impression I'm gleaning from recent posts is that the captain makes a decision on engine failure EVEN AFTER V1 as to whether to land without circling. Or have I got this wrong?

Incidentally, in the youtube video, can you tell who is the F/O and who is the captain? One guy is French and doesn't talk as much - is he the captain?
