Robert,
Appears I have offended you. Certainly, that was not my intent and, for that, my apologies. Indeed, presuming that you are the competent chap of vast experience as is suggested by your profile, my desire was, and remains, to entice you into a useful debate on aspects of certification .. for the benefit of the younger folk.
What happened to my post criticizing your somewhat vague and negative reply to mine. Seems have disappeared.
I'm a tad confused here ? The post has neither been edited nor removed. [It is an unusual day for me to remove other than gratuitously offensive posts.]
I'm not what sure what sort of qualifications ..
Afraid I don't get into willy waving competitions these days .. I left that sort of thing behind me far ago in my youthful, adrenaline and testosterone drenched past. In any case, such competitions generally only serve to deflate one's over-assessment of one's personal endowments ....
Suffice it to note, for your interest, that I am a greybeard consulting engineer, originally qualifying in aeronautics, with the usual, and relevant, Industry accreditations and Regulatory delegations (although the latter are no longer current due to my not being in those lines of work these days).
Does that mean I know heaps about everything ? Of course not... the areas in which I am abysmally ignorant are legion. However, I do have a passing knowledge of a small number of subject areas.
you have to countermand well established airworthiness rules re stopping before V1.
Not trying to do that at all.
The rules (usually, but not always) are based on declared and specific boundary conditions.
If Industry folk are aware of the background then they should be well-placed to interpret the application of such rules in the real world. Unfortunately, the majority most certainly are not. Therefore, we expend a lot of effort in Tech Log trying to throw such things into the discussions with the explicit intention of encouraging folk (especially the younger folk) to incorporate such things into their approach to the aviation task.
While most of us older folk have excelled in making mistakes which we probably would prefer not to have made, there is the possibility that such discussions just might help the odd new chum to avoid making a foolish mistake needlessly .. especially when one observes that some mistakes are terminal.
Your comment, "it depends.... " doesn't seem to appear in any of my manuals.
Of course not .. the manuals are predicated on a presumption of knowledge competence regarding the rule book boundary conditions etc. However, when the crew is doing its best to apply those rules in the real world, there is a real need to have some understanding of the delta between certification and rule book speak and real world speak.
I ask you to embrace the discussion and throw in the sum of your Industry knowledge and experience for the benefit of the readership.
