Yes V1, Senior moment. But cheap pancakes at IHOP.

Yes I think people may be neglecting the dynamic nature of T/O. Done well, as is the usual case, it looks effortless, and frequently is. A seeming minor glitch can rapidly cascade into an emergency even with rapid and experienced hands at the controls. 99% boredom interspersed with 1% panic, or whatever that old bromide is. I can't imagine (at the moment) what might have caused this that will remain mysterious, but patience is the foe of a busy website, no? Like I wrote earlier, Boeing figured out BA's short arrival quickly, though the AD (sic) came much later. I still don't understand how the industry can be satisfied with a solution that instructs pilots how to fly safely with corrupted (wet) fuel. Trent or GE? two separate profiles? AF
