but patience is the foe of a busy website, no?
Yeah, you got that one right...
Re 99%, 1%, yeah, you got that right as well! ;-)
The usual takeoff is about 35 to 38 seconds. Over 40, unless one is WAT limited, that's starting to get longish. I figure between the the time things began to go wrong and the a/c coming to rest in the weeds might've been about 30 seconds or so, and maybe 4 to 6 seconds between initial heading divergence and leaving the runway? Just a guess...
