And 74,480, that is those rejections below 120 knots, I would have almost invariably agreed with--that speed in airliner types is high, but justified, if below V1 in the event. The remaining 1520 are, at least, questionable and in my operation would be investigated by the Standards and Safety pilots. Circumstances, training, and recommendations would be made. I know, on both civil and military positions, I have done just that for cases like this.

WRT, MfS's comments, you might spend time studying risk analysis and statistics, specifically Bayes' Theorm.

My appreciation, MfS

defacto, my 2,500 hours in it leads me to say, it is a plane for those who have thought a lot about jet piloting, but haven't the courage to try it.
