Abnormal Procedures

Other Conditions

Aborted Takeoff

1. Power Lever ............................................................................ IDLE
2. Brakes .................................................................... AS REQUIRED
Amplification
Use as much of the remaining runway as needed to safely bring the
airplane to a stop or to slow the airplane sufficiently to turn off runway.
For maximum brake effectiveness, retract flaps, hold control
yoke full back, and bring the airplane to a stop by smooth,
even application of the brakes.
After a high-speed aborted takeoff, brake temperatures will be
elevated. Subsequent aborted takeoffs or other high-energy
use of the brakes may cause brake overheat, failure and
possibly even fire. A 25-minute cooling time is recommended
following high-energy use of the brake system before
attempting to conduct operations that may require further
high-energy braking. Brake temperature indicator should be
inspected prior to flight following a high-energy brake event.
Refer to Section 4,
