Flight Crew Rejected Takeoff
Aircraft; Human Factors
During the takeoff I noticed a R ENG SYSTEM FAIL message on the overhead annunciator panel while approaching 80 knots. By the time the RTO maneuver was initiated; the noticed airspeed was about 90 knots. In hindsight; I should have continued the takeoff.
MD90 Captain reported experiencing an engine failure on the takeoff roll at 80 KTS so he initiated a rejected takeoff.
