Narrative:

After 30 mins delay for pushback during start, right prv valve light came on. The problem corrected itself. Load control was late giving us the correct numbers for weight and balance. Once received, we were #l for takeoff. Began takeoff roll. Flap confign warning came up immediately. We aborted the takeoff, reset correct flap position, completed takeoff checklist and returned in line for departure. Remainder of flight was uneventful. Obvious reason for the missed flaps (and takeoff checklist) prior to takeoff was the disturbance of the normal habit pattern after engine start and prior to takeoff. The engine prv and weight and balance problems occupied too much time during the short period to takeoff. Delays with required information, new crew, first leg of trip all attributed to our failure to complete the takeoff checklist. Being dark also hindered our visual cues that might have alerted us to the flaps still being up. Most of the takeoff checklist items (except flaps) were completed, but without reading the actual listed items.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A B-767 CREW ABORTED ITS TKOF.

Narrative: AFTER 30 MINS DELAY FOR PUSHBACK DURING START, R PRV VALVE LIGHT CAME ON. THE PROB CORRECTED ITSELF. LOAD CTL WAS LATE GIVING US THE CORRECT NUMBERS FOR WT AND BAL. ONCE RECEIVED, WE WERE #l FOR TKOF. BEGAN TKOF ROLL. FLAP CONFIGN WARNING CAME UP IMMEDIATELY. WE ABORTED THE TKOF, RESET CORRECT FLAP POS, COMPLETED TKOF CHKLIST AND RETURNED IN LINE FOR DEP. REMAINDER OF FLT WAS UNEVENTFUL. OBVIOUS REASON FOR THE MISSED FLAPS (AND TKOF CHKLIST) PRIOR TO TKOF WAS THE DISTURBANCE OF THE NORMAL HABIT PATTERN AFTER ENG START AND PRIOR TO TKOF. THE ENG PRV AND WT AND BAL PROBS OCCUPIED TOO MUCH TIME DURING THE SHORT PERIOD TO TKOF. DELAYS WITH REQUIRED INFO, NEW CREW, FIRST LEG OF TRIP ALL ATTRIBUTED TO OUR FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE TKOF CHKLIST. BEING DARK ALSO HINDERED OUR VISUAL CUES THAT MIGHT HAVE ALERTED US TO THE FLAPS STILL BEING UP. MOST OF THE TKOF CHKLIST ITEMS (EXCEPT FLAPS) WERE COMPLETED, BUT WITHOUT READING THE ACTUAL LISTED ITEMS.
