Hi Dan
I agree that it's an unlikely scenario and quite type dependent, my pal was on the A320 at the time and the trainer considered it worth demonstrating.I seem to remember that trying to stop led to quite high speed departures off the end.
Either way it's very difficult to know exactly what the problem is when it happens near V1 but the engines aren't affected. I agree with the standard parameters Pilot Pete put forward for stopping between 80kts and V1, they are pretty much what I have seen everywhere I've worked.
What I do disagree with is the view that even if it were to happen stopping (from V1)would be no big deal(on a limiting runway). Why does the V1 change from around 160kts to 120kts and a huge weight decrement if you depart with antiskid U/S in a 767 for example?No steering too sounds easy but how can you apply max manual braking and differential braking at the same time?
I've only had experience in the sim but antiskid u/s is a big deal in my book.Then again I'm Luton based which maybe tends to make one even more go-minded.
