If you're sufficiently concerned with V1=Vr at low weights (that is, weights well below the RTOW) and in a strong cross-wind, by all means run your finger up or down the RTOW page to find a V1 comfortably above Vr, all the way to the RTOW if you want.

It's an approved procedure when Wind Shear may be a risk, perfectly legal, and, performance at the actual lower weight will be much better than at the RTOW for which figures you are using.

Have I managed to make a 180° turn on this 'Lower V1' thread to advocating a higher V1? The plot thickens.

Mutt, "This is one of J_T's pet subjects, so standby for his response...", and that's only his written word, the real life display is a piece of real showmanship!

Streamline, it seems that we were simultaneously posting. Yup, I read your original post as referring to other's habits, not your own. They'd better have a good lawyer. We Irish Awstralians never did quite master the Queen's English.....
