A. Rejected Takeoff - General1. Use the 80 knot check as a type of decision speed for a rejected takeoff.
a. Prior to 80 knots, the Captain can safely reject the takeoff for virtually any amber light, any WICAS Caution message, or any other abnormality where the Captain is not certain that the aircraft can be safely flown. In this case, the most conservative action is a rejected takeoff.
b. At or above 80 knots, the Captain should reject the takeoff only for a major malfunction such as an engine fire, engine failure, or loss of directional control.
1) In the case of the illumination of an amber light after 80 knots, the most conservative action is to continue the takeoff unless the Captain is not certain that the aircraft can be safely flown.
2) Guarding the Thrust Levers - Since the normal takeoff profile involves the use of the autothrottle system, only the Captain should have his hands on the thrust levers.
a. There is no need for the other pilot to guard the thrust levers during the takeoff roll.
b. Whenever the First Officer is making the takeoff, the FO will push the thrust levers up, call “TOGA” and move his hands off of the thrust levers.
c. The Captain will then place his hands on the thrust levers until V1 is called by the PM.
