Sure about that? V1 is Take off decision speed. After V1, you're going, otherwise whats the point of having a V1 speed?


"Engine failure or abnormality, including red or yellow annunciators, prior to 80kts, we'll abort. Above 80, prior to V1, we'll abort for any Engine failure, abnormality or Master Warning. At or above V1, we'll take it in the air, memory items at 400 feet, Checklist at 1000. Flight control issues reguardless of speed, immediate abort."
