| My .2 cts. If you have the choice to get off the ground earlier, single engine or otherwise...then should something happen at rotation or after, you might still be able to land the aircraft...certainly we have seen small planes do touch and goes down a long runway... So it begs to ask the question...why would anyone extend thier ground roll voluntarily as far down the runway as possible, putting more pavement behind them then in front making it much tougher to land the aircraft.?? As the saying goes..the three most worthless things to a pilot....runway behind you...altitude above you, and fuel you left on the ground.....Sorry Guppy...had to throw that in there..... |
