So if an RTO has a 1/10th of one percent of banging up the aircraft... only if I don't preflight the plane, forget how to brake the aircraft, do the RTO at 120 kts or better which by the way, I don't know if I can hold down my plane at 120kts...lol....and statistically only in an airline operation that is probably purposefully using derated thrust departures....


So wouldn't it be logical...that if we were to reduce these types of accidents....we would preflight our planes? Hire or train crews that can pull the levers back and stand on the pedals...and if all else fails we give them as much runway ahead as is possible so they have the most room to stop...???

Does that seem like a stretch????
