I don't know about the CRJ200. I can tell you that I would never have aborted (above a 100 kts) for an anti-skid failure in my aircraft - even on the 13,000' runway that I came from last. In my post I certainly did not advocate aborting for any reason, especially at a high speed, quite the contrary. I was saying that in my experience (and aircraft) there were actually very FEW reasons to conduct a high speed abort. It would most likely lead to damage of the aircraft (and depending on what you were carrying on the aircraft) a simple abort, leading to hot brakes, leading to a brake fire, leading to a burnt up FLIR could eventually end in a Class A mishap :(

I will be interested in learning more about this mishap in the future and I'll *speculate* that there will be lessons learned - good or bad. ;)

The true hero of this story is the person who appropriated the 5 million for the EMAS. The world is full of unsung heroes that have that kind of foresight to improve safety usually against great opposition.

Just wondering, I don't know the answer. One part of the V1 equation is it's the highest speed you can reach, lose an engine, reject and stay on the runway and any overrun that is stressed for aircraft and as wide as the runway. (My dispatcher side coming out.) My question is, do they count EMAS in the equation? If you're runway limited and reject, is it planned that you'll go into the EMAS? And if so, what value does EMAS give you? Is 100 feet of EMAS worth 500 feet of normal pavement or what?

This crew may have done everything right in regards to decision making. However, there are a few gotchas that could have led to an overrun. If it was the f/o's takeoff, there may have been a lag in brake application if SOP requires the captain to execute the abort. That extra second or two of changing controls at high speed can waste a lot of runway, and everyone could have been doing their job correctly. Also, many pilots fail to apply full braking in an abort. If you never made it to V1, you may be even more inclined to apply moderate braking and induce an overrun. Lack of training in max brake application can easily be cited. How often have any of us really stood up on those brakes?

I have had to literally stand on the brakes once, for an arrival into SNA, but no harm was done. In a few minutes, I will be pushing back for a departure to Albuquerque, as Cactus 202...FlightAware > US Airways #202

CRJ have autobrakes for RTO?

Nope. Not much automation on the CRJ-200.

Certain Warning and Caution system are inhibited when n1 is 79% or greater, weight on wheels. There is an initial and final inhibit, for airspeed less than 100 kias and airspeed greater than 100 kias.

yeap...its called one of the pilots

Yeah I'm just talking the CRJ. Not you carrying around nukes and cluster bombs or whatever you had :) I misread you the first time and thought you were in favor of high speed aborts
