Rejected takeoff

Hello I had a question, in the game if for some reason I needed to abort takeoff, and exit the runway, what should I tell tower?

Just abort, exit the runway, and request taxi back to the runway

Alright that seems a lot easier than I anticipated 😆

I was actually just thinking about this today. 😂

It can be a little confusing for a controller at first, but usually they’ll quickly figure it out.

When it’s a very busy airport, the controller is like ‘Hey I swear I cleared that for take-off’. They might give you the exit runway command, or be swarmed in confusion until you go on the ground frequency.

First thing I’ll say is try your best to not have to abort the takeoff when at an IFATC controlled airspace (especially during the FNF events) but if you have to abort then just treat the scenario like you just landed.

Also on a side note, Never abort once you have passed V1, or VR. It’s unsafe to do so and there’s a risk of an over run.
