Not me.........I'm just Gilligan, Skipper

T, you are right! I'll have to look next time I fly a 757-300, but does AWABS give you a 15 vs 5 option if it thinks you can do 5?

I was one of the guys who over speed the tires on an early hybrid AWABS flight from LAS to MSP. We wrote it up, filed a NASAP and about a week later we went back to flaps 15 for all takeoffs on the -300. The memo we got said tire speed was taken into account in AWABS but, wow your doing between around 175 for V1 as I recall.
