Gulmp! Non-boosted rudders on the big iron? Scary. My old man flew those with AF and WAL. (water injection runs out and....???????)
Oh, they had rudder boost, alright, just not very good rudder boost.
Both feet on the respective pedal would sometimes be desired, and this is kinda hard to do at 50 feet, when number 4 goes bang.
When the water ran out, it got
very quiet.
So CAL at LAX he rejected at V1+3 after reaction time?, to an event at V1, is that how it went? Is that the official version or what really happened? Hoot Gibson type mystery hangs in the balance here.....
It's what actually happened, according to the FDR.
