Quoting RomeoMike (Reply 7): For pilots: is there any situation where you actually would abort beyond V1? I was under the impression that V1 meant hands off the throttles because there's nothing we can do to stop in the runway we have remaining. |
Quoting josekmlb (Reply 8): V1 is decision speed right anything past VR you cant do the RTO? |

Quoting smartt1982 (Thread starter): At the same time ATC instructed the aircraft on take off to stop, the aircraft was already past V1 slightly. A stop was initiated with no issues. |
Quoting smartt1982 (Thread starter): and did they have any right to tell the aircraft taking off to stop, if so, should they have? |
Quoting smartt1982 (Thread starter): Can ATC not issue an amended go around, ie "go around with an immediate turn to the left etc"? |

Quoting Mir (Reply 11): If there's a catastrophic fire somewhere |
Quoting Lowrider (Reply 13): Unless that fire is in the cockpit, it is unlikely you will be able to determine that it is catastrophic in the seconds between V1 and Vr. |
Quoting Lowrider (Reply 13): About the only scenerios I would reject past V1 for are a confirmed multiple engine failure, or an aircraft entering the runway in front of me. |
Quoting Mir (Reply 14): Wouldn't it make more sense to try and rotate early to avoid hitting the aircraft? |
Quoting Mir (Reply 14): Wouldn't it make more sense to try and rotate early to avoid hitting the aircraft? IIRC, if you're past V1, by definition it will take you longer to stop than it will to get off the ground. Perhaps I'm not envisioning your scenario correctly. |
Quoting smartt1982 (Reply 5): With that then, would the tower have any business telling the taking off aircraft to stop, after it already reached V1? |
Quoting Lowrider (Reply 15): By rotating early, you are just creating more drag that will lengthen your takeoff roll. You might be able to get off a few knots before Vr, but that would be by pure luck, as would clearing the obstructing aircraft. What I envision is a scenerio where an aircraft inadvertantly enters the runway in front of my and I have no hope of reaching Vr by then. If I am going to hit it, I would rather do so at the lowest possible speed. |
Quoting Starlionblue (Reply 18): Sounds eerily similar to the Tenerife disaster. |
Quoting Maverick623 (Reply 19): The KLM crew dragged the tail for a few hundred feet, and apparently managed to unstick the wheels, but it was too late. |

Quoting CosmicCruiser (Reply 20): Human survival instinct would say get it off the ground; the alternative is death. |
Quoting Lowrider (Reply 21): My immediate reaction to a situation now might be different than it was 5 or 10 years ago. |

I was under the impression that V1 meant hands off the throttles because there's nothing we can do to stop in the runway we have remaining. Quoting josekmlb (Reply 8): V1 is decision speed right anything past VR you cant do the RTO? The only reason to abort after V1 (decision speed) would be if the pilots have serious doubts about the airworthiness of the aircraft. To quote a somewhat extreme example, a failure of all engines after V1*. Think of it this way: The pilots are now deciding whether it is safer to go off the end of the runway or take off. Even with an engine on fire, taking off is way safer than going off the end of the runway. I suppose it depends. 1 second after V1 and a nice big grass field at the end of the runway is different from 15 seconds after V1 and a gully. But even so I think the pilots would still rather take off unless it is something really really critical. * This has never happened on modern airliners AFAIK. |
Quoting CosmicCruiser (Reply 20): The arguement is getting a little silly, don't you think? |
Quoting atct (Reply 25): I wouldve let the departure keep rolling and advise the go-around aircraft "when able, turn right/left etc." and issue the traffic. |
Quoting atct (Reply 25): Tower has visual seperation in this scenario. |
Quoting IAHFLYR (Reply 26): Since when did you start landing and departing the same runway? Come on, now way you'd ever get away with that event. |
Quoting P3Orion (Reply 27): You don't land and depart on the same runway? Boy that's weak. |
Quoting smartt1982 (Thread starter): The take off clearance was issued and began its take off run, unfortunately ATC had misjudged and issued a go around to the landing aircraft. The go around would involve flying on runway heading to a certain turn before a turn was initiated. At the same time ATC instructed the aircraft on take off to stop, the aircraft was already past V1 slightly. A stop was initiated with no issues. The departure would have involved following runway heading also before turning in a similar direction to the prescribed go around. |
Quoting cpd (Reply 29): I won't mention airlines, airport or exact times, since the media didn't catch it - and I don't wish them to blow it up into a storm. But it's the closest go-around scenario I've ever seen. It was very, very close. |
Quoting IAHFLYR (Reply 30): Ya know, visual separation is often seen a something far less than standard separation in day to day ops! |
Quoting cpd (Reply 31): It's easier not to mention anything on this forum because everyone picks at the little details. |
Quoting cpd (Reply 31): You didn't see it happen - |
Quoting cpd (Reply 31): it was a little bit close |
Quoting smartt1982 (Thread starter): Obviously a mistake somewhere but can ATC not have issued an amended clearance to the go around aircraft and did they have any right to tell the aircraft taking off to stop, if so, should they have? |
Quoting XFSUgimpLB41X (Reply 4): It's been a very long time since I've done a "published missed" on a go around. It's nearly always "Delta 1234, go around, turn left heading 330 and maintain 3000 feet" or something similar. |
Quoting smartt1982 (Reply 5): With that then, would the tower have any business telling the taking off aircraft to stop, after it already reached V1? |

Quoting josekmlb (Reply 8): V1 is decision speed right anything past VR you cant do the RTO? |
Quoting CosmicCruiser (Reply 9): I would have a problem with ATC telling me to abort a T/O unless I was going really slow. The other point is yes, it's very common to get an amended G/A. |
Quoting Starlionblue (Reply 10): The only reason to abort after V1 (decision speed) would be if the pilots have serious doubts about the airworthiness of the aircraft. |
Quoting Maverick623 (Reply 12): Quoting smartt1982 (Thread starter): and did they have any right to tell the aircraft taking off to stop, if so, should they have? The tower absolutely has the right to instruct an aircraft to abort.... and the pilot absolutely has the right to say "unable". |
Quoting Maverick623 (Reply 12): Quoting smartt1982 (Thread starter): Can ATC not issue an amended go around, ie "go around with an immediate turn to the left etc"? Of course they can.... I see it happen all the time now with the runway construction at PHX, causing the exact scenario described above. |
Quoting XFSUgimpLB41X (Reply 17): I was ignoring the V1 part of the scenario as it is not realistic and ATC doesn't know when you reach V1 anyways. |
Quoting FlyingColours (Reply 23): I believe TWA 843 was past V1 and may have been at VR when they aborted their takeoff. The skipper felt that the aircraft was unflyable, a lot of circumstances helped them that day including the decision to use the longer JFK runway (used by Concorde) and to start their roll from the beginning of the runway. |
