EDIT: in the report they call as a factor that pilots will often use low weights during sim sessions. Those weight will give Vspeeds similar to the one registered that day. Very low experience on type, paired with a training phase in the sim where the speeds used were normally in the low-120ish range, so nothing strangein their mindset
Exactly.
If they were all used to seeing similar OPT results for their previous type (maybe 737 or 320?) then the scene was set for this situation.
Not unlike the Melbourne A340 incident where the crew were used to seeing a figure of 250t instead of 350t (due to mixed fleet flying) and the error didn't register in their minds.
