a. Rejected takeoff

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Abnormal operations, including planning for: a. Rejected takeoff

Bottom line

Emergency or abnormal situations can occur during a takeoff that require a pilot to reject the takeoff while still on the runway. Prior to takeoff, the pilot should identify a point along the runway at which the airplane should be airborne. In the event a takeoff is rejected, the power is reduced to idle and maximum braking applied while maintaining directional control.
