Just read Post No. 8

We are paid to take care of things and given a manual to assist us but not handicap us.

25 yrs of doing this with no violations, write ups by anybody and no scraped metal worked for me
Surely you are not serious Presumably you have never had the pleasure of a real engine failure at or after V1 on an obstacle limited/second segment climb limited weight weight at night or IMC where the obstacles are there but you cannot see and avoid. You and your passengers are then totally reliant on some Performance Engineer knowing his job such that you will clear terrain/obstacles by the regulatory margin only if you fly the profile exactly as per the runway analysis instructions.

25 years of trouble free operations means SFA. It means you have just had good fortune where your doubtless superior airmanship was not needed
