if a bit of a turn at 200ft is a safety issue, give up flying.

are unlikely to feed a constructive debate.

I'll try one more time before turning the page on Wycombe for good:

* I believe that under current maintenance standards the probability of an engine failure after takeoff is significantly lower than that of a mishap while manoeuvering. Both are obviously low, it's not as if every third 6 seater doing so is going to crash on the M40. And it's not as if accident statistics would make us wiser. The prevailing runway in use would be 24, not 06; And the number of 6 seater Max Gross taking off movements at Wycombe will remain in the single digits, even on a good day.

* I wondered if a possibility existed to remedy this situation taking the local circumstances into consideration, knowing fully well that I'm not from around there.
