what did you think of the hondajet crash in phoenix recently?

[@ioptimizerealty]

It was a truly sad event. My heart goes out to the families. From listening to the preliminary analysis done by the Blancoliro and Biz Jet TV channels here on KZbin, it appears that the pilot may have tried to reject the take off well over V1 speed. It according to ADSB data, the HondaJet got up to 133knots. My V1 speed at sea level is typically around 104 knots. It may be slightly higher based on the airport elevation of 5k'. That said, maybe a few more knots higher. Once you hit V1, it is critically important to rotate and takeoff, even if you lose an engine or an engine is one fire, you must rotate the plane and take it in the air. With a twin engine jet that is the safest thing to do and what we train to do. You still have one good engine and the plane will climb and climb well just on one. So you must takeoff. Check out Juan's excellent preliminary review at: kzbin.info/www/bejne/epupkIuegqlopLMsi=dHB4kRXttsd5Ht7I. Also, Biz Jet TV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJfTkneMib6redEsi=XkNI9rQPJOLIdNw2

@@ioptimizerealty i watched his vid the other day. do you think it was weight or a strap or someone said maybe a compressor went out, but yeah going that fast, although he did have lots of people on board and luggage, that speed seems high, he still should have tried to takeoff.

[@ioptimizerealty]

There is no way the flight control lock, if that is what you mean by strap, could have been in place. You just can't miss it. And no, it's not the weight. The HJ was at 133 knots by midfield accorinding to the ADSB data. And that is not "seems high" that is way, way over V1 speed. It appears, for reasons that are unknown, the pilot tried to reject the takeoff way after it was too late to do so. It matters not if there was a compressor failure, an engine fire, after V1, you rotate and fly. Again, we all need to have great sympothy for the families. Juan at Blancoliro and Fabrizo at Biz Jet TV did two really good preliminary reviews. The news reporters I just saw no nothing, nothing. They didn't even know what the NTSB stood for. The NTSB will get to the bottom of this, but for know, I think most jet pilots have a pretty good idea of what went wrong and it can happen in any jet. Try to abort way over V1, especially on a 5.1k' runway and you will blow through the fence. It's physics.

[@mts982]

@@ioptimizerealty pilot error after a possible mechanical error sounds like. buy yes way too fast to abort.

[@ioptimizerealty]

At this point, it is pure conjecture as to why the pilot did not rotate.
