Part 4/9:
As the aircraft gained speed down the runway, the captain initiated the takeoff without clear communication with the first officer regarding the weather conditions. Almost immediately into the takeoff roll, the crew faced mounting issues — most notably, the improperly set stabilizer trim required the captain to exert extra effort to maintain control.
Despite warning signs and initial indications that something was amiss, the crew's responses were alarmingly casual. As the aircraft became airborne, the captain's control inputs became disjointed and erratic, reflecting a growing disconnect from the situation at hand.
