A220 crew made laboured departure

[Ref Flight International Magazine 24-30 Mar 2020]

Occurrence Date/Time	15 July 2018
Aircraft Type	A220 (=Bombardier CS300)
Flight / Operator	N/A
POB	46 occupants
Description	The pilots had been distracted by an unexpected discontinuity in the flight plan after entering the standard departure route into the flight-management system (FMS) Then, the captain asked the first officer to maintain a close watch on the FMS during the take-off roll. Neither pilot could remember whether they had carried out the 80kt speed and engine thrust check. While the captain briefly considered aborting the take-off, he instead opted to proceed.
Result	the A220 lifted off about 1,000m (3,280ft) from the end of the runway – the aircraft had travelled 50% more than the calculated take-off distance. None of the any occupants was injured
Contributory factors	The pilots had been distracted by an unexpected discontinuity in the flight plan; The prioritization was inappropriate – poor Captain’s decision making F/O were not assertive enough or the F/O did not performed the monitoring role
Recommendation	ought to push the thrust levers to mechanical stop Better task allocation
