Not at all impressed with the report. To put blame on the crew for not rejecting t/o after spotting some lights from some sort of a vehicle on the move in crap vis is simply unfair and unjust. To top it all they also blame the aircraft manufacturer for putting the tiller on one side only. They might as well have recommended banning all F50`s from Russian airspace unless modified with tillers on both sides.
They have translated the word "bagnole" as "car". It is in fact the slang for `car `. Competent French speakers know where and when to use it, what situations require its use. This was the sort of situation that required it. They did not know what it was, but seeing some headlights must have thought "what the blazes is that charabanc is doing out there". It is quite likely they thought, it would clear off by the time they would get there. After all they had been cleared for t/o. Was it their job to stop on the threshold, get out, walk the whole length of the rwy then if all was clear get strapped back in and open the throttles. By the time they could see what it was, it was too late except to yank back on the stick and prey they miss the *** thing.
What a miserable effort to try and take the sting out of the rear ends of a bunch of incompetent half wits.
