Sim
For what it is worth. I just came back from recurrent and my partner and I simulated 4 blown tires 4 times, before V1 twice, at V1 and after V1. It was very violent and difficult to control initially but all 4 times we achieved rotation and climbed out.
Aircraft was at 20500lbs
8000 ft runway
300' elev
In this simulation, I can see how a crew could reject just for the fact that something MAJOR was wrong with the aircraft.
I am not saying that we duplicated what was going on but I just wanted to share what we experienced.
