Watch the instruments as the aircraft accelerates, then decide whether to continue takeoff or bring it to a stop.
RTO is a small aviation simulator focused on the decision to reject a takeoff. Set thrust, release the parking brake, and keep an eye on both engines, the alerts, your speed, and the runway remaining. Maintain thrust to continue, or bring the lever back to idle to reject.
Flights do not all unfold the same way.
Runway surface, aircraft weight, runway length, and V1 vary. A fault can affect either engine and appear at different stages of the takeoff. A vibration may settle or develop into a loss of thrust. Some flights have no fault at all. Make your decision using the information available at the time.
If you reject, keep working until you stop.
The RTO autobrake activates during a high-speed rejection when available. At lower speeds, or with an autobrake fault, hold the brake control to slow down. You can also select reverse thrust on the engines that remain available.
Once stopped, read the cabin report and choose whether to keep passengers seated or order an evacuation. If you continue takeoff, maintain thrust through the initial climb. Pitch control is automatic.
Review the flight and try again.
FLIGHT REVIEW records indications and control inputs alongside speed and runway remaining. Check your stopping margin, then repeat the same conditions or move on to another flight. Practice scenarios let you try a particular situation.
Cockpit bird strikes and tower instructions can also call for a rejected takeoff. If smoke is already reported after stopping, you can order evacuation without waiting for the full cabin report. Surge pulses and impact sounds follow the simulated event.
Engine sounds follow the speed and state of each engine. Essential cues are also shown on screen, so you can play with sound off.
Free to play, with no ads or in-app purchases. Available in Japanese, US English, and UK English.
RTO uses a fictional aircraft performance, failure, and assessment model for entertainment. It is not for real-world operating procedures, performance calculations, or pilot training. You control thrust, braking, and cabin instructions after a stop; turning, navigation, and landing are outside its scope.
