With an eye on the thread police!
What might these be? I am interested as a 744 driver.
L337
several single path failures tied into the reversers+thrust levers that may result in s.brakes not auto deploying.

Menen: Our abort sequence is: (The Captains hands are always on the power levers up to Vee One).
1. Max Brakes, simultaneously with retarding the power levers.
2. Max Reverse
3. Speed Brake (if not deployed automatically).
Especially at high gross weights and close to Vee One, it can be a violent maneuver.
An engine fire wouldn't affect this sequence, nor would it call for "selective" deployment of reverse. It is strictly an instinctive reaction, because usually there is insufficient pavement remaining to think or to hesitate.
