Thank you Old Smokey,

well it sounds kind of strange either to lift off at a slightly higher speed as Vr and reach 35 feet after a few seconds, or stop at V1 (wich is the same as Vr in that case) and only need the same distance?? Must be a hard stop??

My problem here is my company usually always uses V1 = Vr, and they always talk about balanced T/O, and know from one day they suddenly decided to reduce the V1 for 6 knots for every runway. Yet they suddenly talk about unbalanced T/O.

In my opinion know itīs rather an balanced T/0 then before? Isnīt it?

Yes Old Smokey I understand that with a reduced V1 itīs "easyer" to stop, but with a Dornier 328 on a 3500m Runway never a problem.

And Old Smokey I saw you are quit familiar with performance, so I have another question: In our IRTīs of Innsbruck airport I noticed that with a certain level of contamination I can suddenly increase my T/O weight again. Thatīs not making any sence for me?? Or is there something I do not see??

Thank you!
