Thanks very much for the interesting information, Rainboe.
I did not realise there was quite so much involved.

So it seems that aborted take-offs are a rarer phenomenon than go-arounds. Does this mean that things simply do not go wrong during the take-off roll, or is it rather the case that they are not sufficiently serious to warrant aborting the take-off?

Are these drills practised regularly in the simulator, given that pilots do not experience them regularly in real-life flying?

And just to be clear - if the F/O is flying, who calls the abort?
