76 takeoffs

Sorry XNR! Gotta disagree!

The safest 76 takeoff is the Cat A within Cat A weights....performance is GUARANTEED. Especially if, as you say, coming off a runway.

The rolling t/o opens up a whole new world of hurt. Just ask some of the OKIE guys about cracked windshields, blown tyres, and such. Also, holding that nose 5degrees down so close to the ground after liftoff can lead to a "situation" when OEI.

The rolling t/o can be used as a risk management "profile" for FOD avoidance.
