I agree the brakes are the most effective way to stop the aircraft.
You also stated that a 20 degree flare is somewhat rediculous. I quote, "Even with ridiculous nose up attitudes, like 20 degrees,..."
It begs the question....For a cat A rejected take off, why does the flight manual call for that flare as opposed to placing the aircraft back on the ground with speed (less than 40 knots)and apply full braking.
Would this not minimize the stopping distance and be safer for passengers as well.
Cheers
