EKwhistleblower,
Also reading the report I wonder how many of us would have selected TOGA having reached the 900m to go markers without any obvious signs of getting airborne.
There are no such markers on the runway at YMML. Where are they?
Putting it simply, if my car tried pulling away from traffic lights using 30% less power, it would be noticed immediately.
Well, if you customarily slammed your foot to the floor on the green light, you probably would. But if you just cruised off from the lights like most, I'm not so sure... I would just put my foot down a bit more, if I did notice.
