In the case of Comair 5191 the PONR was that point on the runway where the take-off could no longer be safely aborted. In the case of Columbia the PONR was...
Bruce, Thanks ever so much. You raise an interesting point. The failure that you cite was indeed a missed opportunity that belongs in the Missed Opportunity...
Mike, Thanks for the interesting material. I can see how it might include some of the causal factors for the next crash, but I don't see how it relates to this...

Bill Salot, Thanks for pursuing this. I believe that the PONR is an important concept for RCA, safety, operator training, and perhaps other things as well. The...
Mike, I sent the following questions by e-mail to NATCA, which I take to be the union. ... What are the written assigned duties of the ATC with respect to...
Mike, Thanks for your research on ComAir 5191. It sounds like the FAA is in "damage control" mode. They may be taking "corrective action" that exacerbates the...
