Logical and neat. The FCTM explains, however, that after RTO the ATC will be advised of the evacuation by F/O. Why?

For any other EVAC, the Captain takes over as well and calls for the EVAC c/l. Which is performed by the F/O. And the Captain advises ATC at it's end.

Should the situation indeed requires a physical escape, to be decided at the end of the c/l, it is initiated with three steps:
. PA
. horn
. atc notification.

I fail to see what the difference is at that stage, based whether it is an
- RTO (when the captain assumes the controls at "STOP")
- other urgent need (for which the captains takes over before commanding the EVAC c/l).

??? Have I been reading to books wrong?
