Or if they departed off their intended runway, maybe they based their calculations upon the ZFW instead of the TOW. They would give a low Flex & low Vspeeds but realistically the aircraft would gobble up MUCH more runway. Either way, a 'ground strike' followed by an immediate return is a hazard & unfortunately the nature of the job. NOT landing immediately is tantermount to wreckless endangerment especially if it is to save face!
