Come on guys, do you really want to log ‘flying’ time while still on the ground? Log your flight time properly like the military - take-off through until landing! 🤔

Well the purpose of the hold is to fettle the timing to be ready to Push on time (to the nearest 5 sec I guess) and so the flypast sequence runs to time. A higher hold complicates the timing as the...

Well I think the circa 100kt ASI split prior to aborting the first take-off gives a fair indication of how far behind the aircraft this crew were!

Well it’s not airframes they are short of, although another birdstrike just after the event in the Midlands.
