Excerpts of Comair cockpit recording
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Excerpts from a transcript released Wednesday showing recorded
communications between the pilots of Comair Flight 5191, which crashed Aug.
27, 2006, after taking off from the wrong runway at Blue Grass Airport in
Lexington, Ky.:
First officer James Polehinke was at the controls after Capt. Jeffrey Clay
had taxied the plane to the runway. The jet was supposed to take off from
the 7,000-foot main runway, called runway 22, but instead used 3,500-foot
runway 26, which is meant only for smaller planes. Time of day is in
parentheses.
Polehinke: (5:52:22) I'll take us to Atlanta.
Jeffrey Clay: (5:52:24) Sure.

Polehinke: (5:56:34) Right seat flex takeoff procedures off of um ... he
said what runway? One of 'em. Two four.
Clay: (05:56:43) It's two two.

Polehinke: (6:06:07) Set thrust, please.
Clay: (6:06:11) Thrust set.
Polehinke: (6:06:13) That is weird with no lights.
Clay: (6:06:18) Yeah. One-hundred knots.
Polehinke: (6:06:25) Checks.
Clay: (6:06:31) V-one rotate. Whoa.
(6:06:33) Sound of impact, unintelligible exclamation.
