From a Line Pilot's point of view this is how I see it.

TDP(CDP) are OEI decision points only, as calculated for the current conditions. They are not a commitment to continue a Take-off given some other problem. That would be a pilot judgement call given the prevaling terrain conditions. Even the OEI decision could be affected by the terrain at the time of occurrance. If one is operating from 10,000 feet of runway an RTO after TDP would be prudent if it can be performed safely.

With the 332 in our operation we brief the Class of performance we are capable of, the perfomance Class profile we are going to fly (Pilot Flying discretion) and if Class 1 from a runway or Class 2 from a helipad or deck this includes a "Committed" to fly point by the Pilot Flying in additon to the TDP.
