Takeoff and Departure Operations Revisiting the “Stop or Go” Decision
Flight Operations Briefing Notes Takeoff and Departure Operations Revisiting the “Stop or Go” Decision
I
Introduction
For every flight of any given day, it is necessary for the flight crew to be prepared for a high speed rejected takeoff during the takeoff roll. The decision on whether or not to perform a rejected takeoff --specifically, on whether or not to STOP or GO-- requires comprehensive flight crew awareness of the many risks involved. The aim of this Flight Operations Briefing Note is, therefore, to review the STOP or GO decision-making process, and the associated operational and prevention strategies to be applied, in order to limit the risks of taking inappropriate actions and unsafe decisions. Note: If the Captain decides to stop a takeoff, at any time during the takeoff roll, this is referred to as a “Rejected Takeoff” (RTO).

Background Information – Statistical Data
In comparison to the 1960s, the 1990s have demonstrated a 78% decrease in the number of RTO incidents/accidents per 10 million takeoffs. The figures range from 6.3 in the period from 1960 to 1969, down to 1.4 from 1990-1999. This considerable improvement is partly due to the implementation of operational policies, training practices, and industry-developed guidelines (Ref. “Joint Industry/FAA Takeoff Safety Training Aid”).
