In two sessions on a Boeing 747 flight simulator, the experimental conditions were defined for an investigation directed at the minimum required visual reference to control the aircraft after a failure of the most critical engine at an inconvenient moment during the takeoff run. An investigation was carried out involving a large number of Boeing 747 crews, in which a total of 159 aborted takeoffs were performed in low visibility. Pilot comments and ratings as well as measured pilot-aircraft performance data for these takeoffs are presented. It is concluded that aborted takeoffs can be performed safely in night conditions on runways with 15 or 30 m centerline light spacing with an RVR of as low as 150 m, provided the pilot flying keeps looking outside and the pilot not-flying gives speed calls.
