Rejected Takeoff; Single Engine Operations - Eclipse Aviation Eclipse 500 Flight Manual

Occasionally, the "go or no-go" decision will be determined by the pilot in command in
an instant during takeoff roll. This decision should be thoroughly self-briefed for any
potential circumstances prior to setting takeoff power.
For the Eclipse 500, any abnormal prior to Vr should be reason to reject the takeoff. For
any abnormal after Vr, the pilot must consider the severity of the abnormal and the
runway remaining.
questionable aircraft control should be considered reasons to reject the takeoff as long
as there is runway available.

Rejected takeoff

If the decision to reject the takeoff is made, immediately bring both throttles to idle and
apply braking (up to maximum) commensurate with remaining runway. When able,
notify ATC with callsign, runway number and any assistance required. Once the aircraft
is stopped, execute any abnormal checklist as appropriate. If the abort was at a high
speed and maximum braking was used, consider potential for hot brakes and taxiing to
a clear area for brake cooling. Consideration must also be given to whether to clear the
runway, calling for fire department or other emergency vehicles, emergency evacuation,
etc.
During actual aircraft flight training, the rejected takeoff maneuver will be thoroughly
briefed between the instructor and the pilot. The objective is to train the actions
required to make a successful rejected takeoff and to demonstrate those actions that
may be required following the event. In accordance with the practical test standards,
the rejected takeoff maneuver will be begin no later than ½ Vmc (~30 KEAS).
A rejected takeoff will be introduced by reducing thrust on one engine with a throttle.
• Runway not less than 50' wide
• Airspeed not greater than ~30 kts
• Guard the rudder against application of the wrong rudder.
Once the pilot performs the proper initial steps of the rejected takeoff, at the instructor's

Single engine operations

Flying the Eclipse 500 on a single engine involves close adherence to proper
airspeeds. The most important of which is Vyse. Anytime the aircraft is operated single
engine, the aircraft should not be allowed to go below this airspeed until landing is
assured.
