:: B777 MAS Reject Take Off ::

Guys.. this is the message received from my friend... now wonder he was delayed.. Never experience this moment.. abort landing ader laa... Imagine that stopping the giant baby at 100 knots speed.. God..!!

morning guys,
Im still in FRA alive and kicking. MH 5 KUL-FRA 9M-MRJ. All ok until we aborted our take off.It was my sector. meaning i do the take off. As normal after advance thrust then press the TOGA button to engage the autothrottle, all announciation check, engine advance automaticaly and i glance the runway, my speed and then back to engine instrument....THEN...secondary engine page came out, which we suppose not to see on normal flight until something is WRONG. Once glance...i saw Right engine Oil Pressure Zero!!! In RED box.

We were at 100 knots, well before V1..so we abort, Captain took over control and Abort, i tell you one thing, Tripple 7 autobrake at abort...SUPERB.I call to ATC, which is Tower frequency, "Malaysian Five, stopping"..We stop on the runway, then Tower ask if we can exit, so we did on taxiway Sierra (S)... then settle the checklist. Then taxi back to an open Bay... escorted by 6 fire trucks!!!!!!!..Brake temperature went high due to the abort.

ALL AIRCRAFT WERE LOOKING AT US!!!!! even one pilot with a camera, guess what...I DID NOT BRING MY GEAR!!!! stupid of me.Engineer came, check all the engine...nothing can do, not to forget we have limitation of duty time too..as per calculation, 16:30..we will step down, leaving engineer 2:30 hours to fix...not a chance, so..passenger disembark, Book into Hotel and the crew, check in back to our hotel...

So here i am, sleepy and safely in our business lounge with some food stuff...Not knowing what to do tomorrow, work or not i dont know. Can someone send me my camera..i wanna spot!!!!It will be worst if incident happen after take off and if we have to come back and land, we might dump lots fuel...meaning to say...burning money over FRA!!!!My calculation...close to 76,000 kg of fuel. Morning guys...sleep tight. Im ok...see you in KUL.
