oggers - I agree, but I don't have to agree with some aspects of this report. The phrase "was sensible in the circumstances" was not backed up by any fact or scientific analysis. As such it was merely opinion. So like the rest of us, the AAIB get things wrong every now and again. So I'll stick by my let's stop or go at V1. But are you prepared to say that it is perfectly alright to decide to stop or land back whenever you want, ie. V1 does not matter? In this website you have the opportunity to tell us how to fly. I'm sure others would like to read what you believe.

PM, it's a bit of a leap from the AAIB finding of "the Commander's decision to land the aircraft was sensible in the circumstances" to your question.
