DC-ATE . . ."You might have loss of power on an engine past V1 and have 10,000 feet of concrete in front of you. Are you going to continue? Book says yes, but I say no. Again.....it's a judgment call. But...we digress."
Be careful with that. When past V1 at MTOW your higher speed may exceed your braking capacity. The "extra" pavement is no longer an assurance of stopping before the end. You just keep rolling and rolling while standing on the brakes.
