Hi,

Am I right in thinking that blue-line is a weight dependant speed anyway (I recall exam01 pointing something on this line out to me after my initial ir) and that with less than mauw, vsse is likely to be even slower.

I haven't flown twins for some time now, but I was originally trained on the "no runway remaining" then when I started work it changed to blue-line.

Logically thinking, it makes more sense to get the gear up sooner rather than later. As others have said, by the time you've got the beast under any sort of control, you'll be ultimately off the runway and in those circumstances, a belly landing might be the lesser of 2 evils?

Any thoughts??
