I was commenting on the fact that the pilot was negligent in not having the safety measures to prevent this in the first place. I was not saying that it was not possible, only that he had done everything completely incorrect.

IOW, a plane sitting with a clear path in front of it, started, with good trim already set, the chocks out of its wheels, and the RPM's cranked high enough to cause it to be able to accelerate at least past its stall speed (that causes takeoff ya' know), and the handbrake apparently not set (if this model has one, which I would find hard to believe that it doesn't. Its not *that* old, though I could be wrong). That is just not good piloting skills, no matter how you cut it.

I think YOU are negligent, my friend, for posting on here when you haven’t the slightest idea of reality.
