Hi Chesty,

The problem may come from the the aom description note:

NOTE: RTO is the selected takeoff mode with the maximum
deceleration rate. This deceleration is equivalent to the
maximum manual braking.
This is a slight miss quote from the certification document which says:

RTO Maximum available deceleration
and

RTO select is equivalent to full brake pressure application
It's not the deceleration that is equivalent. It's the signal requesting pressure from the BCMs. This signal is equal to full brake pedal compression i.e max brake pressure.

There is a lot of this in the AOM. In this case we have German engineers writing the original reports and then those reports being interpreted by Brazilian engineers all working in English so you can't blame them...............



So stick to your guns.
