anyone ever been through an aborted takeoff/landing?
AA125 STN-JFK on Sunday 11-May-2008
767-300 with very light passenger load, less than 1/2 full.
This was something I've never experienced before... have you?
About 10-15 secs after we started our takeoff roll, before the engines reached full power, the pilot aborted the takeoff and slowly moved to the next taxiway exit from the runway.
The pilot told us that a light had come on that shouldn't have come on. Then it took about 15 minutes for the crew (with flight manuals) and maintenance base staff (in Tulsa) to decide to reboot one of the redundant nav computers. We ended up arriving only about 30mins late at JFK.
Do AA763's use MS Windows, or what? rebooting computer to clear an error light... scary thought huh?
