An RTO question:-
Is there any data for RTOs which resulted in serious incidents or accidents, particularly those commenced above V1, indicating other contributory / external factors, i.e. less than the recommended overrun distance / area.
The line of thought is that if an ‘overrun’ is contained in a safety area without major damage, then these may not appear in accident statistics and thus hide a potentially higher rate of high speed RTOs – incorrect decision but successful outcome.
Conversely how many incidents became accidents because of systematic failures; the crew decision (> V1) might only have been the initiating contribution.
