The figures GUARANTEE we will stop before the end of the runway if rejecting prior to V1. So there is NO intellectual (or otherwise) case for not performing intersection departures. All performance figures are as I say GUARANTEED
Do they Guarantee you will perform 100% as expected to stop the aircraft according to the appropriate and expected stopping methods? Or that another fault which may have caused the RTO will allow you to stop in the appropriate conditions....Or that some other influence will not affect the a/c's stopping ability ?
I always thought many RTO's ended in prangs due a/c not stopping in time despite the aircraft performance figures GUARANTEEING that the aircraft will stop.
Seems like a very confident and or (more likely) stupid statement to make IMHO.
I could be wrong of course, but then again, I am not Guaranteeing that I am correct
[BTW my comments are w.r.t. "Guarantee", not about full length or interesection departures as the figures will? adjust V1 based on length available. ]
