lifting off but your groundspeed is too high
to stop


Thats the problem, and why I would never
use this procedure


If it’s too bad, delay departure, otherwise use
normal speeds and fly the windshear escape maneuver if necessary
stilton I do not get Your point. Past V1 You must continue the takeoff anyway regardless of what Your Vr is, so what is Your concern ? Again this procedure is not a magic wand it just gives You the benefits of increased energy. If past V1 You do encounter a severe airspeed stagnation You must keep going till You have runway left in front of You and eventually rotate.
