Looking forward to the pending discussion
- not from me. My issue was to do with a STOP! call, and a possible false STOP! call BEFORE V1 at that, not a 'maybe' decision based on ECAM, so I will not comment here on SOPs outside my experience. I'm also amazed that you have 'about 8' items for a ?mandatory? high-speed stop. 9 times out of 10 it is better to GO with most failures. Would you not be better having a computer make the stop decision in that case? (thinks - must retire soon )

Suffice it to say the SOPs I have 'grown up' with are clear and understood by all crews with whom I have flown and will fly. That, to me, is the nutshell - a difficult and critical time for decisions, so make them easy and train the crews accordingly. I'm beginning to feel really old-fashioned
