You company’s arbitrary revision of the “abort/go speed to 80 knots” is potentially hazardous. Not only have they introduced a new decision / check – to assess if the indications / cues are true / false or engine related / otherwise, they have created a unsafe operation in the event of loss of power and a go decision. There appears to be many opportunities for human error due to flawed judgment, misleading indications, etc. Have they / you considered the minimum control speed on the ground? You may decide to go at 80 kts – the aircraft appears capable of flight, but with asymmetric thrust you will only go off the side of the runway.
Please send a copy of the PSM+ICR report to your management. Every time that an additional human activity is introduced (action or thought) there is opportunity for error. KISS and FSOPs.
