Lets hope that in the future the stupid thread does not prove to be not stupid.

Seriously, IMHO when an engine failure at rotate is mishandled by the flying pilot the A/C tends to go about 30 degrees off the RWY heading.

Mind you I gave a comand candidate a V1 cut on No1 Engine on a VC8 (4 eng A/C) once and he rotated instead of waiting to Vr. Streuth the heading change was more like 60 deg, with me spooling up the simulate failed engine , that taught me lesson.(VMCG inc Nose Wheel stearing. Before modern thinking)

Some of you of a certain age might remember a viking (I think) that went rather off course at LHR years ago.

Keep terminals in the centre of airfields I say. Yes you can not cover every eventuality but I think (not Knowing the exact track) Madrid is QED.
