Title: Re: Lou - STORIES

You name it, Lou. Tons of dependencies, all of them associated with a "clear" 'maybe it fails, maybe not, maybe it does severe damage, maybe not'.

Nice read by the way, especially when really stressing that your written examples all happen within few seconds or less time. The industry works hard to reduce actual workload, but it can't and won't rule out the decision maker, which is the human mind in the cockpit.
If he decides to abort, the systems help him (autobrake, antiskid, automatic Spoilers, engine FADEC), if he decides to continue, they will too (still FADEC, yaw compensation for failed engines, corrected AT speed for 'one engine out' climb, speed tape showing flap and manoeuvring limits, and so on), but he has to decide what action will take place.

So you are once again right, that's why they get the big bucks, and we all know which a.. gets kicked first when they fail to decide right. Sad story sometimes is, that they've set up their own fate and all others then wonder what lead to this or that decision and reaction.
Good point to look at that AF plane again, I hope they find a clue why it crashed.  :-/
