Weeeeel gofer, just one more eeeny teeny tiny thingy, V1 speed in a MD80 (or any other airliner for that matter) wonŽt be 200 kts. In a MD 80 loaded like SK686 it would be somewhere around 130 kts and a Vr around 138 kts. Please yaŽll, give or take some knots. I donŽt have the books handy here.
Otherwise gofer, IŽm impressed. Good info!

Weeeeelll... 
Interesting, but involving so much finger waving and kludge factors that I think the actual calculations are a bit irrelevant. Not to mention the fact that what happens after the transmission has left the aircraft's antenna is beside the point, as it's on its way and there ain't nothing gonna stop it even if the plane crashes immediately thereafter.
I agree approximately with the conclusion though. The whole process couldn't have taken more than a couple of seconds, if that. This isn't a VLF data link like they have on nuclear subs!!
This is all a bit of a moot point, however, because it seems that the transmission dd arrive, so it obviously was possible!

This thread has reached the PPRuNe 100-posts limit, so therefore to preserve server load it is being shut down. This keeps access times up for all of us.
For those new to the forum this is NOT a form of censorship, or exercise in editorial control, rather a response to the popularity of this site, and the increased load placed on the server by access of large threads. At some time in the future, with increased bandwith, this will become unnecessary.
However, for the time being please feel free to continue the discussion on a new thread... I'll edit in reciprocal links to both the new thread from here and the old thread from there after a short while....
Thanks for contributing everyone. I seriously thought Tenerife would never be repeated....... I speak for everyone on the administration side of this forum in offering our thoughts and condolences to the families of everyone affected.
