Firstly, well done to the crew, the capt in particular for making a hard decision that goes against everything drummed into us and listening to that little voice.
Secondly well done to the investigators for specifically mentioning that the capt made the correct decision under the circumstances. It is often easy to draw a line between the “non compliance” (in this case the post V1 reject) and the crash, but to acknowledge that the person making the decisions had all the info and made the appropriate decision is great to see.
Interesting and challenging position for the check pilot though.
i do reckon that the 12 seconds between V1 and the captain pulling the pin and rejecting the takeoff would have been the longest 12 seconds of his life and to evaluate the situation and make a decision like that is pretty good going.
