1 – Stop the aircraft (both pilots should only focus on stopping)
2 – Assess the situation
3 – If needed prepare for passenger evacuation (extend flaps and so on)
- well, 3 UK operators to date and not one of them do/have done it that way!

If you delay the flap extension you will hinder the overwing evac. It is not THAT challenging to run flap out during the latter part of the decel! The main priority surely for the non-handling is to ensure that the RTO is commenced properly, and that leaves him/her 'free' mental capacity to do the other bits?
