B767 RTO Policy

Hello,

I just need some advise on RTO policy on 767.
Do you Reject takeoff if you encounter an engine fire (w/o thrust loss) near the speed of V1? How about on a slippery runway?

I think, with the thrust reverser, it will not be that bad idea to reject even at high speed near V1, even on slippery runways.

Boeing said that on B767, with both engine running, the required feild length to stop (in case of Engine failure at V1) was longer by 500m than the length required to stop with only one engine running.

I think, the point will be whether we can believe in the thrust reverser in case of engine fire or not.

I appreciate your kind advise. Many thanks in advance!
