Narrative:

On departure from narita, japan, we rejected our takeoff at approximately 100 KTS due to a lack of v-spds on our pfd tape. The rejection occurred at XA58Z (XJ58 local) as we were departing for taipei. The v-spds were missing as the result of a last min runway change assigned to us by narita ground control. Originally we were assigned runway 34, but narita changed our runway assignment to runway 16 in an effort to have us take off by XB00Z (XK00 local) curfew. While changing the runway and departure on the FMS we failed to reselect our v-spds, which caused us to reject the takeoff. During the rejection we had 6 fuse plugs melt causing 6 tires to deflate. The rejection was performed with automatic braking. This entire incident could have been prevented had we not been rushed to make the takeoff by curfew. In the future I will never allow myself to be rushed by circumstances I have control of.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: A B744 CREW, DEPARTING NARITA, JAPAN, REJECTED THE TKOF AT 100 KTS, RESULTING IN 6 TIRES DEFLATING.

Narrative: ON DEP FROM NARITA, JAPAN, WE REJECTED OUR TKOF AT APPROX 100 KTS DUE TO A LACK OF V-SPDS ON OUR PFD TAPE. THE REJECTION OCCURRED AT XA58Z (XJ58 LCL) AS WE WERE DEPARTING FOR TAIPEI. THE V-SPDS WERE MISSING AS THE RESULT OF A LAST MIN RWY CHANGE ASSIGNED TO US BY NARITA GND CTL. ORIGINALLY WE WERE ASSIGNED RWY 34, BUT NARITA CHANGED OUR RWY ASSIGNMENT TO RWY 16 IN AN EFFORT TO HAVE US TAKE OFF BY XB00Z (XK00 LCL) CURFEW. WHILE CHANGING THE RWY AND DEP ON THE FMS WE FAILED TO RESELECT OUR V-SPDS, WHICH CAUSED US TO REJECT THE TKOF. DURING THE REJECTION WE HAD 6 FUSE PLUGS MELT CAUSING 6 TIRES TO DEFLATE. THE REJECTION WAS PERFORMED WITH AUTOMATIC BRAKING. THIS ENTIRE INCIDENT COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED HAD WE NOT BEEN RUSHED TO MAKE THE TKOF BY CURFEW. IN THE FUTURE I WILL NEVER ALLOW MYSELF TO BE RUSHED BY CIRCUMSTANCES I HAVE CTL OF.
