lower braking force
- sorry, Alex, I don't understand? Far less energy to dissipate, same friction force from tyres/brakes.
The assumed 50C guarantees you'll stop for a TOW of 53T if you use the V1 for 53T
- so if you use that V1 at 48T?
a) You reach it FURTHER from the 'nasty' end
b) You have a lighter a/c to stop from that speed.
