B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber Crash Video
Most SOPs I am familiar with for heavy aircraft tell you to keep
flying if a Master Caution illuminates on takeoff AFTER 80-100 knots. After 80-100 knots, hi speed aborts are done for Fires, Engine Failures, Windshear and if the PIC believes the airplane will not fly. This crew had no idications to warrant an abort. After a certain threshold they are biased to continue and that is what they did, similar to Comair 5191. Blaming the pilots does not "un-crash" this aircraft. There are system issues to be corrected here. I'm glad they survived. For a very good read on time compressed decision making and concurrent task management, get a copy of "The Limits of Expertise: Rethinking Pilot Error and the Causes of Airline Accidents" by Dismukes, Berman and Loukopoulos http://www.amazon.com/Limits-Experti.../dp/0754649652 Fly Smart Kent www.signalcharlie.net
