May I expand this slightly. I've flown under many SOP's regarding RTO's with fires. Some had 'stop straight ahead', others 'consider turning'. I never came across the SOP that told you to turn with an engine fire RTO. The thought being you get it wrong and make it worse.
What I have come across with teaching new pilots from a non-familiar airline is their SOP NOT to use thrust reverser on an engine fire during RTO. Is this a local preference? Does anyone else do this? If it's such a good idea why is it not standard Boeing, or any engine manufacturer?
