Par for the course. As usual, MH is 2 days late and a <boeing> dollar short
Yup, of someone sneezes on the flight deck of a Boeing, he’ll post a squawk about it…
Stresses the importance of checklist accuracy. It should have been readily apparent that in order to go flying one needs to select an altitude to fly to……in the MCP. This may be the tip of the iceberg, missed on the cockpit geographic, missed on the SID setup, missed on the departure briefing and missed on what the instruments were telling the pilots “prior” to autopilot engagement.
Way back in the old days (1970s) I was lucky to be allowed in a jumpseat. The chap in the right seat called "V1", and then "rotate" (VR), while the chap in the left seat did the flying. I was assuming this was still done. I didn't realise that now the computer does this.
Who now handles the braking if an engine fails before V1, or decides when to rotate if it fails after V1 ? Does the computer now do this ? Can a computer handle asymmetric thrust ?
If a human does this who is monitoring the airspeed and how long does it take for a human to recognize the engine failure and to take over from the computer ? Under recommended CRM procedures should the captain and first officer discuss and decide all this before they start to roll ?

Frank, the good old days. Actually, the Captain then as now initiates a rejected or aborted takeoff. Automation has done away with many of the manual actions taken such as: Auto braking, auto spoilers even an automated voice callout of runway remaining. The crew always conduct a departure briefing for every takeoff and add additional info as needed ie: weather, runway length, takeoff weight, MEL considerations, emergency return etc.

Thanks for the reply and clarification/confirmation that the crew do conduct a departure briefing. I am however insecure about the auto braking and other automated functions such as callout of runway remaining. In my opinion the more automation, the less the crew are forced to pay attention which can lead to a lag in response or even lack of response.
In the really good old days of one of my first flights as a child passenger I found out that the bottom rear corner of rectangular windows on DC3 (passenger aircraft) leak when they fly through rain.
Thanks again and all the best for the New Year.
