could not stop (abandon/abort) the takeoff Explanation: as it was not safe to do so, so they had to continue (with the takeoff procedure ) I assume -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2017-10-30 23:31:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- they were probably already going too fast down the runway when they saw a birdstrike might occur -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 hrs (2017-10-31 12:53:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- This is at accident report stage so I think the mix of tenses might be confusing In fact, the takeoff was aborted just after becoming airborne in order to avoid a flock of birds as they didn't have enough ascent to avoid them, so they tried to land again but hit the runway heavily. However, IF they had struck the birds, engine failure would have occurred and, from that position, an aborted takeoof would not have been accomplished safely |
