September 10, 200223 yr Pedro and crew,Your statement had me confused, it appears you had a V1 cut then went on to rotate...."Following the V1 cut on the ground you are not allow to leave the centerline (maybe a couple of degrees). So first, only with rudder mantain control and then past VR rotate slowly to about 11-12 degrees (no aileron)."Wasn't sure if you images pertained to a V1 cut, V2 loss or a single engine approach since they all seem to be an active topic in the thread.Some carriers around the globe may be doing something different so I always defer to see if there is a language/procedure barrier I am not aware of. I'd just do the hold my hand on the throttle till V1, then remove it to the yoke. Once my hand comes off the thrust levers I am mentally committed to fly. Of course all this is reviewed on the departure brief with the F/O along with the usual stuff.The problem with having true-flight questions is our PC controls are configured so differently, ie rudder pedals vs no pedals, different utilities, CPU speeds and control settings. All we can tell is what works on the line, then the individual sim-pilot has to adapt that to the limits of his individual machines.As far as the human factors and reaction times asked earlier I believe the airframe and governing bodies build in a "cushion" or percentage to account for reaction time when calculating the published speeds. Boeing refered to them as Operational and Engineering numbers in '85. Same holds true on weights and airframe stresses-However, I would not recommend going past them in line operations.Timothy(No longer confused.....)
