If Greasecap SR is correct then it would seem that the Captains intervention was appropriate and that is of course no criticism of the PF, the relation of Mr Greasecap.

It would perhaps support the philosophy that in addition to the airmanship call of "Continue" from The Captain after a malfunction or event on the take-off roll that similar support calls are relevant to all phases of flight, particularly when time is limited in the decision making process. A bit of direction from the senior pilot in the flightdeck can often help. Obviously, switched on FO's can also make these calls to indicate that they are immediately aware of the issues accompanied by an intuitive sense of the correct course of action, the P1 can then chill and continue monitoring.

How we work symbiotically during the duty will always have an enormous amount of influence on these incidents and that is why I am always relieved to complete a duty with one of the very small minority of pilots who only communicate using grunts or chest-beating. True in both seats.

Great intervention Captain, and the conscience of yourself and your valiant FO and crew should be entirely clear.
