Narrative:

We were at 100 KTS into takeoff roll on runway 27L at ord with what I determined was insufficient runway remaining to complete and continue takeoff, so I aborted and taxied off on the north extension of cargo B, holding short of runway 14R on the runway 27L parallel where I requested the 44 min brake cooling time and then use of runway 14R on the next takeoff. At this point in time I thought that maybe the airspeed had stalled and takeoff into the wind on a longer runway would solve the problem. After about 10 mins of data review, the first officer pointed out that the so had mistakenly circled a full length data 'K' note, when we actually only had partial runway available and we were 10000 pounds over weight for 'J' note on the EPR ATOG message. Needless to say, thoughts of air carrier at dtw with no flaps made the hair stand up. Having found our mistake and no more than normal brakes used during abort, we continued the flight without further incident. On review, I believe my concern over a very disruptive so and his being on probation probably caused the situation to develop.

Title: FE USES WRONG INFO FOR TKOF CALCULATIONS. TKOF ABORTED.

Narrative: WE WERE AT 100 KTS INTO TKOF ROLL ON RWY 27L AT ORD WITH WHAT I DETERMINED WAS INSUFFICIENT RWY REMAINING TO COMPLETE AND CONTINUE TKOF, SO I ABORTED AND TAXIED OFF ON THE N EXTENSION OF CARGO B, HOLDING SHORT OF RWY 14R ON THE RWY 27L PARALLEL WHERE I REQUESTED THE 44 MIN BRAKE COOLING TIME AND THEN USE OF RWY 14R ON THE NEXT TKOF. AT THIS POINT IN TIME I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE THE AIRSPD HAD STALLED AND TKOF INTO THE WIND ON A LONGER RWY WOULD SOLVE THE PROB. AFTER ABOUT 10 MINS OF DATA REVIEW, THE FO POINTED OUT THAT THE SO HAD MISTAKENLY CIRCLED A FULL LENGTH DATA 'K' NOTE, WHEN WE ACTUALLY ONLY HAD PARTIAL RWY AVAILABLE AND WE WERE 10000 LBS OVER WT FOR 'J' NOTE ON THE EPR ATOG MESSAGE. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THOUGHTS OF ACR AT DTW WITH NO FLAPS MADE THE HAIR STAND UP. HAVING FOUND OUR MISTAKE AND NO MORE THAN NORMAL BRAKES USED DURING ABORT, WE CONTINUED THE FLT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. ON REVIEW, I BELIEVE MY CONCERN OVER A VERY DISRUPTIVE SO AND HIS BEING ON PROBATION PROBABLY CAUSED THE SIT TO DEVELOP.
