In an aircraft that is only certified to FAR 23, (the KingAir which is the primary subject under discussion) why on earth would you want to?
I suggest you all read the accident report of the C90 accident at YTWB.
An engine failure at the wrong time, do everything right and you are still going down. Why make that window any longer?
Transport Cat/FAR 25 aircraft are a different kettle of fish. "Guaranteed" performance, 2 pilots, NTS etc etc etc.
Reduced hot section wear means jack when you are through the fence off the end, or worse.
