18) REJECTED TAKEOFF (RTO) ACCIDENTS

The airlines make exceptional efforts to both brief and be ready for the RTO. They even include it as a maneuver on all recurrent check rides under AQP. General Aviation for single engine planes does not have such a maneuver, nor does it have any mention of in training material. The main emphasis is to know the abort points during any takeoff such as insufficient speed at a certain marker, or stagnating airspeed, or unknown vibration, etc. The pilot should be thinking about the runway length and how aggressively braking is going to occur if an RTO is required.
