Engine fire just below V1, is it always correct to reject take off?
Hi,

Boeing asks you to be so kind to stop takeoff below V1 for an engine fire. Is it a real fire ? You will discover it later on. If you stop take off above V1 then this is not correct. But you already know that a few knots before V1 you will probably end up by rejecting above that speed, especially if it is the fourth leg of the day by night. Next time you go in the sim try to reject within 5 - 6 knots from V1. Do it 10 times and try to get some statistics from that.

Bye.
