During a rejected takeoff, which of the following is advised?

Using asymmetrical reverse thrust with caution during a rejected takeoff is advised because it can help manage the aircraft's deceleration while maintaining directional control. In scenarios where one engine may be out or not producing thrust effectively, applying reverse thrust on the operational engine can assist in slowing the aircraft more effectively. However, it is crucial to use this method with caution as it may induce yawing moments due to the differential thrust being applied, which can complicate control.

While reverse thrust can enhance braking performance, utilizing it asymmetrically requires a pilot to stay vigilant about the aircraft’s handling characteristics. The situation can quickly become complex if not managed properly, hence the emphasis on caution. This approach allows for a more controlled stop while minimizing the risk of veering off the runway or losing control, which can happen if all engines are reversed without considering their conditions.

The use of MAX reverse on all operating engines or on just one side could lead to excessive yawing or directional control issues during a high-speed abort. Similarly, completely avoiding reverse thrust may result in longer stopping distances, possibly compromising safety.
