In one of our present discussions regarding V1, the following statement was made.
The V1 data presented to many of us flying older equipment makes NO adjustments of any kind for icy or wet situations. The same MTOW is used.
Unfortunately while this may be an extremely lax interpretation of the FAR’s, it is legal.
But as a crewmember, would you be happy to accept the fact that you will go off the end of the runway due to your companies’ policy?
What other options are available to them?
Mutt.
