In the “high-speed” regime, takeoff should only be rejected because of catastrophic ... malfunctions or life-threatening situations. Pilots should weigh the threat against the risk of overshooting the runway during an RTO maneuver. Standard operating procedures (SOPs) should be tailored to include a speed call-out during the transition from low-speed…

An abrupt application of power may cause the airplane to yaw sharply to the left because of the torque ... feet are on the rudder portions, not on the brake. Check the engine instruments for indications of a malfunction during the takeoff roll. In nose-wheel type airplanes, pressures on the elevator control are not necessary beyond those needed…
