Any pilot thinking of performing a high energy take off abort because of an unreliable calculated wind vector, produced on the ground on the ND should probably buy a six pack, grab a chair, sit in the back yard and rethink his or her whole abort criteria over again.

How many passengers have we, collectively as an industry, killed because of unrequired high speed aborts?

Below 100 knots "Stop, Stop, Stop."

Above 100 knots "Go, Go, Go." (EXCEPT under the conditions your operator specifies, and I have yet to learn of one which references ND wind speed component)
