Part B Section 2
04 REJECTED TAKE-OFF
Rejection of a take-off at high speed can be hazardous, in particular when the runway
length
and/or condition is critical from a performance point of view. The decision to reject may
only be made before V1.
The rejection of the take-off should be restricted to:
1) All observed failures and/or exceedances.
2) An engine failure
3) An engine fire
4) Conditions, which render the aircraft clearly unflyable
5) e.g. jammed controls, fire, explosions etc.
If the first officer is the PF, he may reject the take-off on his own initiative in case of an
engine failure, an engine fire or a malfunction directly affecting aircraft control. However in
all other cases he must await the command 'STOP'.
The accelerate stop distance for a Catalina under ISA conditions, MTOW, full take off
power, dry runway, no slope, no wind is approx. 1300 meters.
