Good list of the ‘usual suspects’ there GD; but, there’s a couple of others which may be added:-

Reduced (alternate) power for take-off and the company instilled mind set not to cob the throttles (power levers) when the do-do hits the whirly-gig.

There are many ‘authoritative’ studies which show RTO at high speed is a risky business:- particularly with ‘alternate power’, contaminated runways and a no wriggle room take off accepted only to reduce the bean counters numbers.

HERE – and  - AGAIN, here.

Of course we cannot safely discount the monster ‘stuff up’ and associated penalties.  But in this case the RTO was not an option, was it? The TODA may well have stacked up in calculation; but I wonder, was the ASDA considered?  My favourite question; why do we see a negative rate of climb after rotation?  Cos the arse end is still going down, approach lights beware.   

Toot ???? toot.
