Just curious...how long was the runway? Max braking and TRs used during the abort?

One thing I NEVER worried about in the CRJ-200 was stopping...those brakes are MASSIVE.

Holy cow, what was your V1? 78 Knots isn't exactly a high-speed abort, can't imagine that being so close unless your runway wasn't what you needed. Was there some sort of failure associated with this scenario?

Having flown into CRW today, for the first time in a while, I can say without a doubt that the people who brought us EMAS ought to be heralded as heroes.

As for what happened, we will never know because we know that if the pilots survive, no one will ever know what really happened!

It seems you sometimes have to take some people by the hand and explain some things to them slowly.

Ok, Here we go;

The comments about aborting for EFIS COMP MON, Anti Skid Failure, Bugs on the Windshield and Forgetting your salad dressing were all made in jest.

Because aborting for these things at high speed would be logically inappropriate it becomes funny or absurd.

That and the messages are inhibited.

The aircraft had all tires changed, due to the long skid. No other damage.

Glad to hear it... I stand corrected... That EMAS must be good stuff. Hope I never have to test it.

I'll just have to wait to read the full report and see why it was, that they departed the "prepared surface" to begin with.

Just curious, what items will trigger a Master Warning in your aircraft? There are plenty of Master Warning items I would not abort for. I'm not questioning your decision as I'm just curious to know if there's anything that could trigger a MW that you would not abort for.

Who cares if the engines fail at a reduce power settting? Your TOLD data is predicated on the fact that you are using reduced thrust. If indeed you have an engine failure at a reduced thrust, have confidence in the fact that you still have extra thrust available on the remaining engine (if your procedures allow that).

Braking distance for the abort would be based on the anti-skid working. Now take this scenario. You start your T/O roll on a short runway while right at your runway limited weight. At 90 knots, anti-skid goes out but you decide to continue because that isn't a "loss of control/power". At 90 knots, the RJ can sometimes have 50 knots to go before rotation. Now lets say you are still rolling down the runway and something happens at 130 knots that you do need to abort for. Not likely, but could happen. Do you really think you could stop from that close to V1 with the anti-skid not working???
A takeoff abort is the most dangerous and hardest procedure you'll ever perform in an aircraft. Even when you are prepared for them, a takeoff emergency catches you by surprise and your actions have to be 100% correct (and the equipment) because the margins for success are slim.

You can what if takeoff emergency scenarios to the Nth degree. The fact is, historical data is on your side if you only abort above 80-100 knots (airplane dependent) for a loss of thrust or a serious emergency which would render the aircraft unsafe for flight (usually defined as a fire or perhaps a windshear warning).

Your aircraft has standby instrumentation. Who cares if the weather is bad? If you have two good motors, standby instruments, and fuel to fly to an airport with better weather, why would you ever risk aborting for an instrumentation failure? Historical data is definitely not on your side in this decision.
