 | This is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum. Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post. In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.). Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so. |

After V1, which is somewhere in the latter part of the takeoff roll, you're not supposed to abort a takeoff. If they would have, they'd have ended up on the A4 somewhere..
The EICAS message "tailskid" will probably have popped up on the flight deck, indicating to the crew what happened.

Odd. So you are saying Astana lets their pilots undertake this test áfter they are hired? Sounds like a monkey sandwich to me.Thermal wrote: While at FSC I was shocked to learn that over 80% (!!) of their current pilots can not pass the COMPASS test!! The COMPASS test is a basic aptitude test that is used by many flight schools and airlines to check if a individual has the basic skills to become a pilot.
80%!
No unfortunately this is very real. This test has never been done by pilots who already were flying for Astana (it is not a mandatory test). When Astana bought Western planes they needed to implement Western standards and that is why they have introduced this test. To see how the skills and knowledge of their own pilots compare to Western standards. Apparently the're not there quite yet.Odd.
