How many times have you had an assymetric RTO on a 777?
How many crews have you observed in a777 simulator attempting to turn as they slow from an RTO?
Yes we have learned the lesson from Pete’s event in MAN and VOLUME we do teach it to all new and old but it’s quite difficult to do sometimes with RTO braking. What can be more important is stopping on the tarmac quickly and completing the process efficiently ( as opposed to quickly).
a turn during an RTO is often prebriefed eg turn into any fire works for a headwind but is the reverse for a tailwind, would not be required with a Xwind for one engine but critical for the other etc.
My experience?
Number of RTOs in the a/c single figures
number of RTOs in a Sim 3 figures
number of RTOs observed in a Sim 4 figures. BWDIK
