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.

An abort for an anti-skid caution would be ludicrously counter-productive...you don't need it to go flying, but you sure might need to it to stop safely!


The two airlines I have worked at perform a high-speed (> 80kts) abort only for engine fire/failure/severe damage, reverser unlocked, fire indication, or loss of control.

PinnacleFO has it right for now. Hold the criticism AND the praise until facts are known if you're the type of poster that hates speculation.

Don't order me around, Marine. I'm not your subordinate. And I frankly couldn't care less what you think of my post.

Also not sure how you perceived my comment as picking on anyone.

(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?
EMAS is not counted. Per your definition, "overrun that is stressed for aircraft." The EMAS is NOT stresed for aircraft, that's how it works, by breaking apart due to being run over by 20K plus pounds of aircraft.

I don't know about you guys, but I will abort for an EFIS COMP MON at any speed.

I'm not ordering you around - and thanks for the compliment.
I'm pointing out that speculation goes both ways.

If that's how you roll you must hardly ever fly!

Looks like a textbook EMAS save. Lucky people...

...or if in the opinion of the Captain, the ability of the aircraft to fly is imperiled.

It is not an absolute. There is no policy. The decision to continue or abort at any speed rests with the PIC. I am glad I was not in that position.

I am interested in looking at the speeds involved from the perspective of seeing if our performance numbers are valid. I have wondered about this at V1 in EYW on the CR2. Talk about short. At least there you dont have to worry about running off a cliff!

Amen. That's why we get paid the big bucks.

Cudos to the crew, and cudos to the EMAS.
I'm glad things turned out OK - the bottom line is that no one was hurt and EMAS appears to have saved the day. BUT - those guys aren't getting paid "big bucks." They're grossly underpaid.

Another issue: the EMAS is only in the overruns... so it begs the question: why did they reject a takeoff and end up in the overrun? I know nothing about CRJ TOLD and I'm not throwing spears. I'm just curious how this will turn out.

As said before, the real heroes are the people who decided that the runoff area needed this EMAS. Without it we would likely be talking about a far more serious incident.

The FAA and PSA will find out about what happened. In the meantime we all have to be thankful for the foresight somebody had to deal with a very unlikely eventuality which turned reality.
