You get even less warning with your head out of the door My second one was at around 200 feet, just hopping over the runway at Manchester. Compressor blade decided to give up.

The thing is with these beasts, you must be continually running through a checklist in your head ALL THE TIME and be VIGILANT (sorry for shouting, but I just want to make the point clear). That's why the Canada Labour Code equates longlining with hard labour.
