What difference is between ''aborted take -off'' and ''rejected take-off''

[airman13]

if it is any .....

[johnc21]

apparently they are the same

The official wording is Rejected takeoff, more commonly known outside aviation jargon as an aborted takeoff.

[airman13]

anymore opinions?

[Spitoon]

From a controller's perspective I wouldn't make a distinction between the two terms. FWIW, I tend to hear the procedure referred to as a rejected T/O when it's done for crew training and as an aborted T/O when it happens for real - but not exclusively in either case.

[Junkflyer]

Same thing. One airline I worked for used "reject" as the phrase, current one uses "abort."

Reject the abort...

In the 1980s, I was at United DENTK for some simulator training.
A group of pilots was using "ABORT" as wording. At times I did too.
The two UAL instructors mentioned it was not "politically correct" to use that word.
Abort reminds (some) people about "abortion", considered bad word.
All my Boeing books mention RTO or Rejected T/O...

Happy contrails

Sometimes even called "An Accelerated Stop". Could even be called "A No Go" if you are real busy!!

[Pugilistic Animus]

Remember not to use either phrase until at least V1 +10 or you'll be hit by a SAM while flying it to the fence

[The Real Slim Shady]

A wise pilot once told me " we aren't going anywhere until V1! " so I guess the take off commences at V1.

In that case should it be simply a high speed taxi?

[SNS3Guppy]

For Boeing, one aborts an engine start, and rejects a takeoff.

[HAWK21M]

Rejected term is the officially used term out here...the explanation would be aborted T/O.
