intersection departure ???
I'm not an RPT pilot but I am absolutely amazed to hear that a 737 did an intersection departure.
Regardless of wind conditions and take off distance required I would have thought that it was good policy to use all the runway available. The runway behind you is fairly useless if something untoward happens during take-off run.
Could they be in such a hurry for departure or would ATC request it for traffic sequencing?
In all my years of flying and observing aircraft I don't think I have ever seen a larger RPT jet aircraft execute an intersection departure.
Would be interested in comment from pilots of such aircraft.
