Whatever happened to the concept of "Thinking" while you are set there in the front end?
Well, SASless, whatever happened to it?
You are going to tell me that thinking: "Oooh, I`ve got an airspeed anomaly! Oh my god, whattodo, whattodo? I am past V1, past Vr, so I better get that nosegear back onto the RWY and pull 'em to idle and let the old man handle the rest. My profound judgement assures we will stop before the concrete ends and desaster starts..."
is better than thinking: "Oooh, I`ve got an airspeed anomaly! Oh my god, whattodo, whattodo? I am past V1, past Vr, so I better pitch up to my usual 15 deg, get some air under my keel and then consult with my colleague on how to solve the problem!"
You decide.
