Abstract

An aircraft includes an engine and a system that is configured to detect an event associated with the engine during a take-off. The system is further configured to determine a speed of the aircraft a particular time after the event and to determine a remaining distance between the aircraft and an end of a runway at the particular time. The system is also configured to compare the speed of the aircraft to a take-off rejection speed threshold. The take-off rejection speed threshold indicates a maximum aircraft speed that would result in the aircraft stopping prior to a particular distance from the end of the runway. The take-off rejection speed threshold is selected from a plurality of aircraft speeds generated during aircraft deceleration simulations. The system is also configured to generate an indication recommending whether to continue the take-off based on comparison.
