Yup, your definition is correct. Ergo it is not mandatory to continue the t/o with oei when TDP is reached, providing a reject can be safely completed - notwithstanding soggyboxers’ comments re training and other comments about lawyers. I can imagine a lawyer dryly querying, “was a fly away with an engine fire really necessary with 10,000 feet of runway remaining………”
I merely point out that the point at which TDP is reached coincides with the onset of translational lift. Other decision points, eg: rig take-off’s are committal points, not oei fly away points. A vertical take-off, or a helideck take-off use nose down fly away techniques with oei during which, of course, t lift is reached.
