They did not however lose an engine or abort. The aircraft’s actual takeoff distance should have allowed them to get airborne on the runway. There are additional issues at play. It might be that seeing the end of the runway coming up the aggressive and perhaps early rotation and tail strike reduced performance.

Anyway local rumors are that CRM and authority gradient played a role with a very experienced (Italian) Capt with a wannabee on right seat. Time will tell a bit more.as the blame game has started..
4700 feet is the balanced field length to allow the aircraft to either continue the takeoff with a engine failure and be at 35 feet over the end of the runway or abort and stop on the remaining runway. It is not the actual takeoff distance which would be shorter.
