What speed-kts would reach a frame for a RTO? Fabien

Hi Fabien
Sometimes I watch Radar-Toulouse.fr It is not in real time. What I can see for some RTO was around 86 KTS. But it is possible that it is more ;-)
Regards Horst

Yes, thats to slow. In the past the CallSign for an RTO was UAExxxRT. I think we will see the RTO for MSN133 on Monday or Tuesday. So I will take a look next week, maybe the CallSign is UAE133RT ;-)

RTO is >= 100 kts if I remember it correctly. They abort just before V1.

RTO is >= 100 kts if I remember it correctly. They abort just before V1. I suppose that there is a difference between certification RTOs and RTOs performed before delivery of production frames. The former must be performed, as you said, at a speed very close to V1, and I read that the aircraft often is seriously damaged. The latter are probably performed at a lower speed, to preserve the aircraft. I would appreciate comments from a knowledgeable person.

Looks like MSN133 is on the move again...maybe her RTO...(or maybe not)? My bet on 127 looks sorely misplaced now...

Looks like you were right with the RTO!
