[QUOTE="anorlunda, post: 6510916, member: 455902"] Situation permitting is the key. One obvious situation not permitting is when you meet the ground before finishing reading the checklist. I [B][U]assume[/U][/B] that the VASA transcript is real time. [LIST] [*]At 0:26 in the VASA transcript, Flight 810 was cleared for takeoff. [*]At 0:36 in the VASA transcript, Flight 810 said, "We'll have to return." [*]For more than a minute, it sounded like the controller did not hear 810's transmissions, and also confused 810 with the inbound flight 809. [*]At 1:50 in the VASA transcript, the controller cleared 810 to return to the airport. Flight 810's reply was, "We are going to have to run some checklists, if we could get delay vectors..." [*]At 3:17 in the VASA transcript, the pilot asked to return to the airport, and said that they no longer had the airport in sight. [*]At 3:42 in the VASA transcript, Flight 810 said, "We might lose the other engine as well." [/LIST] So they spent at least 87 seconds on the checklist, all the while heading out to sea away from the safe landing site at the airport, and eventually out of visual range of the airport. I am [U]not[/U] trying to suggest that the pilots were in error. Only the NTSB can pronounce the final cause. With only 10 seconds between takeoff clearance and the pilot's call to return, it sounds like the first engine failed during or immediately after takeoff. [/QUOTE]
