@Kukailimoku:
Many accounts have been written about B-52 emergencies and near-emergencies. Those are very heavy, especially when had to return soon after take-off or come down to a different field that maybe wasn’t as long a runway as ideal or nominal. In cases where fire didn’t actually break out (pun!) the fire trucks standby over the hot wheels for a long time / they hose it / they put ventilation fans on the hot wheels (pun again).
I think the aborted take-off emergency trumps the normal ops’ constraints of overheating the brakes.
Related: IDK if small military planes have similar, but large airliners have a few v-speeds governing take-off. V1 is the speed at which you CANNOT abort (because not enough time/distance remains to stop without rolling off the end of the runway), V2 is the minimum for climbing with one engine dead, etc. We probably don’t have V2 in BMS…
You can calculate V1 if you like. V2 you will definitely run into some issues I imagine.
WDP will calculate a max abort speed for you automatically. You can do it manually using the charts in a real performance manual if you want (F-16CX-1-1), but WDP is pretty convenient. Obviously, emergencies below takeoff speed, you perform an abort. An abort is a CAPS item, so you should have it committed to memory. For emergencies above takeoff speed, you should be in the air, so they are takeoff emergencies - which are also CAPS items. Committed to memory. Light twins up to airliners, the sequence seems to be V1, rotate, V2 (take with a grain of salt, Ive never flown either type), so between V1 and V2 if you have an engine failure you are just stuffed. The F-16 has pretty enviable performance though, so for us it tends to be that we get airborne well before reaching our abort speed. Obviously we are just as stuffed with an engine failure though!
Its also generally an option to do an AB takeoff, if the MIL takeoff would start to run into the abort speed before reaching takeoff speed. So given that, as long as we plan our takeoff, that makes our emergency management in the takeoff phase really simple. Before takeoff, we perform an abort - throttle idle, hook down if you like (without arresters, its just eye candy), brakes as required. After takeoff, for an engine failure we zoom, stores jettison, and eject.
