It is rotating before taking off .
The faa jaaeasa and oaci has received several reports of flightcrews that have conducted rejected takeoffs after their airplanes were treated with thickened anti icing fluids the flightcrews have reported that the aircraft did not respond to normal or even slightly above normal control column back pressure inputs for rotation to the takeoff attitude the flightcrews assessed the need for unusually high back pressure forces to be a flight control failureand elected to reject the takeoff at speeds in excess of vr or v1 as applicable fortunately these rejected takeoffs did not occur on runways of limited lengtha common factor in these incidents is that the rotation speeds were below at or only slightly above the 100 kt minimum rotation speed recommended for application of type ii or iv anti icing fluids in addition the transport category aircraft involved all had unpowered elevator flight controls in all of the reported cases the use of thickened antiicing fluids was approved for the airplane and the flightcrews reported following the airplane manufacturer's procedures for takeoff after the aircraft was treated with thickened anti icing fluids in many of these reported cases the rejected takeoffs occurred during the flightcrew's first takeoff or their first takeoff for that winter season when the airplane had been treated with thickened anti icing fluidsReleasing the brakes in order to take-off. it is implementing its own anti-icing devices. leaving the icing zone.

It clearly depends on operator's procedures but the impact of the explosion of a bomb on board a pressurized aircraft will be reduced if the cabin altitude equals the aircraft pressure altitudeif the bomb explodes and if you lose hydraulic systems you will not be able to deploy flaps by preparing your aircraft for landing you give yourself the best opportunity to carry a landing on an airport or not with the greatest chance of successYou carry out an emergency descent to reach the safety altitude. you climb to the maximum flight level which does not need the use of pressurization. you go down to the level corresponding to the indicated cabin altitude and keep the aircraft in a clean configuration until the final approach.
