wrt the energy of the abandon take-off, I wrote:
If high, then taxi minimally clear and set park brake and get assistance immediately with external inspection. If very very high, don't even move off the runway!
Taxiing a 747 creates a lot of wheel heat. After ours, which was on the high side, but not a max V1 abandon, we braked rather heavily. That extra taxi caused a lot of trouble. I really think you should keep it minimal- we would probably have got away without losing any wheels if we had just moved clear of the runway and stopped. As for a max energy stop....don't even move- close the runway!
