Narrative:

Departing atl, 4 rings were received from the cabin. A man had stopped breathing. The takeoff was aborted at approximately 95 KTS. Paramedics were called. All checklists were run. First officer gave me a 45 min brake cooling time. For once, everything ran smoothly -- paramedics were there, gate people, refueled, received new paperwork and off we went. Everything worked so well I lost track of time and we were off in 34 mins, not the 45 mins I was supposed to wait. One note though, as we were doing one of the checklists I noticed the autothrottles had not disconnected during the abort which tells me we probably were doing less than 95 KTS when we aborted which would have reduced the brake cooling time (still no excuse). A thorough walkaround was done in atl and the brakes did not appear to be excessively hot. While in the air between atl and iah I decided to write up the abort in the maintenance log, so maintenance would run a good inspection on the aircraft. Herein lies the problem. I inadvertently put atl on the aircraft log instead of iah, which makes it appear I took off with an open write-up, of which I did not. Maintenance in iah pointed this out to me. I said I would change it and initial it. They felt that if I changed it, it may look like I was trying to cover something. The feds might frown on that. So I left it as is. I don't have an answer to what happened, all I can say is to slow down and try not to get caught up in getting in too much of a hurry.

Title: B737-300 HAD TO ABORT TKOF AT LESS THAN 95 KTS. REQUIRED BRAKE COOLING TIME WAS 45 MINS BUT ONLY WAITED 34 MINS PRIOR TO SUBSEQUENT TKOF. LATER, WHILE ENRTE, AN IMPROPER WRITE-UP WAS ENTERED IN THE ACFT LOGBOOK SHOWING ATL AS THE LOCATION OF DEV INSTEAD OF IAH, THUS APPEARING TO BE A COVER UP OF FLC ACTIONS.

Narrative: DEPARTING ATL, 4 RINGS WERE RECEIVED FROM THE CABIN. A MAN HAD STOPPED BREATHING. THE TKOF WAS ABORTED AT APPROX 95 KTS. PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED. ALL CHKLISTS WERE RUN. FO GAVE ME A 45 MIN BRAKE COOLING TIME. FOR ONCE, EVERYTHING RAN SMOOTHLY -- PARAMEDICS WERE THERE, GATE PEOPLE, REFUELED, RECEIVED NEW PAPERWORK AND OFF WE WENT. EVERYTHING WORKED SO WELL I LOST TRACK OF TIME AND WE WERE OFF IN 34 MINS, NOT THE 45 MINS I WAS SUPPOSED TO WAIT. ONE NOTE THOUGH, AS WE WERE DOING ONE OF THE CHKLISTS I NOTICED THE AUTOTHROTTLES HAD NOT DISCONNECTED DURING THE ABORT WHICH TELLS ME WE PROBABLY WERE DOING LESS THAN 95 KTS WHEN WE ABORTED WHICH WOULD HAVE REDUCED THE BRAKE COOLING TIME (STILL NO EXCUSE). A THOROUGH WALKAROUND WAS DONE IN ATL AND THE BRAKES DID NOT APPEAR TO BE EXCESSIVELY HOT. WHILE IN THE AIR BTWN ATL AND IAH I DECIDED TO WRITE UP THE ABORT IN THE MAINT LOG, SO MAINT WOULD RUN A GOOD INSPECTION ON THE ACFT. HEREIN LIES THE PROB. I INADVERTENTLY PUT ATL ON THE ACFT LOG INSTEAD OF IAH, WHICH MAKES IT APPEAR I TOOK OFF WITH AN OPEN WRITE-UP, OF WHICH I DID NOT. MAINT IN IAH POINTED THIS OUT TO ME. I SAID I WOULD CHANGE IT AND INITIAL IT. THEY FELT THAT IF I CHANGED IT, IT MAY LOOK LIKE I WAS TRYING TO COVER SOMETHING. THE FEDS MIGHT FROWN ON THAT. SO I LEFT IT AS IS. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER TO WHAT HAPPENED, ALL I CAN SAY IS TO SLOW DOWN AND TRY NOT TO GET CAUGHT UP IN GETTING IN TOO MUCH OF A HURRY.
