too fast n too much inertia n too little tarmac left at V1.
You are in the high speed regime, above 100knots .if u read annex 6 and FAR25, you will get all the answers.read up on " Balanced Field Length".
I ever had a RTO at 87knots and it was anything but gentle.
In performance, we are not actually learning what the aircraft can do but rather what it CANNOT do. that's called Limitations and that's why we have to calculate Field Length limit, climb limit, obstacle clb limit..fwd CG, tailwind limits, bla..bla..bla..
Nothing is perfect, machines or humans. safety is numero uno!
What they guys say here are correct but shouldn't u have learnt and passed this subject in Perf A before flt? Don't get me wrong , im just curious.
Cheers n happy flight!

"Thanks guys, that makes sense.

As a point of interest, why is a T/O never rejected after rotate but before lift-off?"
