A320 Emergency Electrical Config on Takeoff
I just read an old post about having a dual generator loss before V1. The typical answer was STOP!
Well. Earlier today, after 4 hours of RTOs and failures above V1, we were headed down the runway , between 100 and V1, when we got a Master Warning, all my screens went dark ( I was sitting on the right side) and the PF immediately went IDLE, Reverse, and applied brakes. The tires blew out, no more braking. We were rolling at 105 knots when we left the runway. The runway was 3800 meters long and dry. I'm glad it was a sim.
We always state that we are going to abort for any master warning before V1 (the ones that are not inhibited). But in this case it wasn't the smartest thing to do. Of course we knew about the 1000 psi limit when no antiskid, but everything happened too fast to think about it.
I find strange that there is no special procedure as to what to do in this case, as I find that the calculated V1 is extremely fast to abort with this type of failure. After this experience I wouldn't abort the T/O with EEC above 100 unless engine trouble.
Your opinions on this subject are appreciated.
