That is not entirely correct. That was the case in the old days. Now as we get more and more history and gain confidence in our safety margins Vr is calculated at much higher rates than is necessary to meet FAR 25. Much like and for the same reason that CDA approaches are in effect over in the EU. If he had said Vrmin that would be correct, but Boeing and Airbus are fast moving toward Vrmax at this time. Airbus was probably the front runner in that.
