Empty Cruise don’t try to double think the regulations and SOPs. Over many years of experience, the authorities and industry have debated the safety of RTOs. The accident data shows that the human making the decision is the weakest link.
See all of the text in FAR 25.109, note para (e) … determine the accelerate-stop distance if that means--
(1) Is safe and reliable;
(2) Is used so that consistent results can be expected under normal operating conditions; and
(3) Is such that exceptional skill is not required to control the airplane.
And also note para (h). If the accelerate-stop distance includes a stopway with surface characteristics substantially different from those of the runway, the takeoff data must include operational correction factors for the accelerate-stop distance. The correction factors must account for the particular surface characteristics of the stopway and the variations in these characteristics with seasonal weather conditions (such as temperature, rain, snow, and ice) within the established operational limits.
