Well said JW411.

lomapaseo, I doubt anyone would advocate - 'encourage pilots to override their training', but they need to sometimes have other solutions up their sleave.

I only fly turbo props but I know which runways are long enough for me to abort after V1, in the very unlikely event I need to stop, to deny that thought is rather foolish.

In 1997 an Emerald Budgie out of STN aborted after rotation, the end result, everyone walked away, what might have happened otherwise does not bear thinking about.

Commanders need to think outside the square sometimes, that comes with experience, lomapaseo has neither methinks.
