From the "report" it seems to indicate that the Capt initiated a turn OFF the runway which exacerbated the wind effect .(Not criticizing) as other factors were at play .
But what if : 1) the wind is variable
2) the wind changes during takeoff roll,
3) a direct X-wind , how much into wind turn
do you suggest ?
This is a discussion and I do not think that anyone is inventing their own procedures . The recommendation is just that ,a recommendation, and most of us are guided by manufacturers and company SOP's . If it could be regulated , it would have been , so the decision on the day does rest with the Commander ,with due considration to all relevant factors and practices .
