Engine failure after V1 but before V2 what do you do?

Engine failure after V1 but before V2 what do you do?

• A. Abort the takeoff and reject.
• B. Maintain heading and attempt to abort after liftoff.
• C. Immediately land on the remaining runway.
• D. Continue the takeoff.

Answer: (D)

This tests how you handle a engine failure after you’ve passed the decision speed on takeoff. Once you’re past V1 you’re committed to continue the takeoff, because there isn’t enough runway remaining to stop safely if an engine fails. With one engine inoperative, the airplane is still capable of climbing on the remaining engine, so the priority is to maintain control, accelerate to V2, and establish a positive climb away from the runway. Attempting to abort after liftoff or landing immediately on the runway would put you at risk due to insufficient distance and unstable flight path; continuing the takeoff gives you the best chance to reach a safe altitude and handle the abnormal condition. So, continuing the takeoff is the appropriate action after an engine failure post-V1, pre-V2.
