Gents,
The side step idea - either left or right depending on who is the pilot flying - in order to retain visual contact with the departure, is all very well until one considers that at some regional airports, you've got that helicopter circuit active to one side of the runway and you are just about to fly right through it.........!
Just a thought to make an improbable scenario even more scary. Or is it?? (Improbable I mean.....)
