This all leads me to my next question then - what helps the most on an RTO - brakes (auto/manual), speed brakes or thrust reverses?
Hmm, I had a high speed RTO on a 767-200 out of CYYZ-LAX on a cold January dry runway morning a few years back. We experienced an engine failure at V1, did the RTO thing and came to a stop just as the good reverse came in. The bottom line, the brakes did the majority of the deceleration.
The biggest problem in all of this is the “shock factor” the rest is all training
