Incredibly bad luck to have the signal loss/malfunction in that 40 odd seconds between standing the t/l up and 120 knots.

Bolty McBolt & Short Circuit:

My previous comments were from the top of my head !!

I think you may be correct, I think the L & R sensors provide respective Cpt / Fo indications & in the event of either failing the other will provide data on the B744.

As for config warning I think SS is correct, any of the sensors will provide the config warning via the EIU. Older Boeings like 757 I think it's the centre only.

I havent flown a B744 for some time, but is it possible to get an unscheduled trim movement that would cause a takeoff config warning?

The Facts!

Hello All,

This information strait from the radio.

a) It was a mid air drama.
b) The senior pilot noticed that four tyres had blow during the take off run
and decided to stop.
c) All the passengers will be home safley late this afternoon.

I hate it when people just won't listen, all the fact are there. There is no reason for all you cleaver pants to come out of the woodwork.

Cheers,

Solocmv.

and decided to stop.
c) All the passengers will be home safley late this afternoon.
a) it was still on the ground.
b) the tyres deflated during the stop or after the aircraft stopped.
c) all the passengers were safe and went home eventually.

What is your point?

The radio was wrong

Just a point for discussion, the Boeing QRH Non-normal Manouvres section suggests only stopping for a unsafe T/O config warning up to 80kts.

I'm not questioning the Captain/Handling Pilots decision, he was there on the day, but by chance we discussed this scenario on my route check a few weeks ago. The training Capt checking me referred to the QRH and suggested continuing above 80kts.

It's a long way to fly with no stab trim and fuel burn would
have been a big issue with elevators cranked up all the way home.
And then the holes in the cheese line up, A/P's all fall over and you have
to hold the stick back for 8 hours or divert etc etc.
RTO good choice.

Perhaps it just moved slightly out of the Green Band triggering the CONFIG STAB warning?

I thought they only had transducers on echo sounders.
