Automated V1 call on A380

Hi AirRabbit,

As no A380 pilot has answered your question, here's a suggestion. The automated call - "Vee wun" - is likely to be slow and precise. If it commenced at the precise figure of V1, the "wun" would not be heard until after V1, potentially leading to a late abort. It may be that the SOP is to treat the "wun" as defining the decision point.

Perhaps the above will provoke a properly informed response!
