Why risk a high speed RTO for a minor snag? There is plenty enough redundancy to safely fly with one ASI failed.
I recently had an ASI failure during the take off roll. I compared the other
four ASIs and we continued. Once clean I turned around and reset the ASI CB which sorted out the problem. I'd have looked pretty stupid having either rejected at high speed or landed overweight wouldn't I?
Oldaircrew, I don't know your back ground but I think you'll find that most pilots would NOT reject for a single ASI failure as it isn't unsafe. I think you'll find most pilots will follow SOPs and the brief.
