hi all

Just got FAQ email from my company can answer this question:

Q9. Regarding the criteria for rejecting a takeoff between 100 KIAS and V1.
According to FCOM 3, between 100 KIAS and V1, you reject for:
1. Any Master Warning,
2. Any fire,
3. Any severe damage,
4. Sudden loss of engine thrust,
5. Perception the aircraft is unsafe to fly,
6. And four Master Cautions:
A. Sidestick Failure
B. Engine Failure
C. Thurst Reverser Fault
D. Thrust Reverser Unlocked
Aren't the thrust reverser items listed above inhibited from application of takeoff thrust
to 1500Ft AGL?If so, how are you to get a Master Caution?

Answer:
After review of your query we would like to provide you with the following information.
First, as you mentioned, the ENG REV FAULT caution is inhibited in flight during the takeoff
phase.
However, with reference to the latest issue of the FCOM 3.02.10, dated Jun 09, the rejected
takeoff procedure has been simplified in order to ease the rejected takeoff decision making.
The list of situations that can lead to the decision to reject takeoff above 100knots has been
changed to:
1. Fire warning, or severe damage ;
2. Sudden loss of engine thrust ;
3. Malfunctions or conditions that give unambiguous indications that the aircraft will not fly
safely.
4. Any red ECAM warning.
5. Any amber ECAM caution of the ENG system or the F/CTL system.
