On a 777 for example would you reject for a cargo door caution that comes on during the takeoff roll? At 50 knots? At 100 knots? No bang associated.
Thanks

Look trough inhibits on T/O. Your answer is there.

thanks for that. The master caution is inhibited above 80 knots but not the EICAS message hence the question. I have concluded that the aircraft is safe to fly so I would not reject above 80 knots.

safe to fly with a cargo door open warning on!
We're assuming, of course, you're asking this question from a legal standpoint, not a technical one.
From a technical standpoint, there are degrees of safety...
It should be safe, but trying telling that to, for example, the people who died in the United Airlines 747 accident.
It depends on how much faith you have in the electrics of the door locks and opening mechanisms.
Despite decades of evolution in aviation safety, engines still blow up, tyres still burst, autopilots still misbehave, people still take shortcuts...

And lawyers keep making money for anylising over months a decision that the pilot had to take in a split second.............. And get paid a fortune to do it.
The conclusion is clear why become a pilot when you can make three times as much for no risk as a lawyer ?
