It was certainly below max take off weight. Engine failure on take off roll?
On multi-engine aircraft, if you lose an engine early in the takeoff, you abort the takeoff. If you lose an engine late in the takeoff, you continue the takeoff on the remaining engines (certification regulations require this to be possible).
The speed at which the decision transitions from “stop” to “go” is called the V1 speed.
My guess would be that they lost an engine just before they reached the “V1” speed, attempted to abort the takeoff, and for some reason forgot to deploy the thrust reversers.
Take a look at the engine visible in the photo in Post 9 and you’ll see that at least on that engine it’s not deployed.
Yea, well within weight limit, good weather, little wind. Kind of leads to to believe some serious sudden mechanical failure.
I notice the EMS official stated something about anytime we have a landing that has issues...... Anyone let him know they were departing?🚀
