aeroncaman,

A tad more complex than what you are suggesting but you certainly have the basic idea down pat ..

Indeed, not ... especially if you have nosewheel brakes in the equation as well as main. If one of the posts suggested this, then I must be more attentive in future as I completely missed it ..

In general, stop distance will be considerably less than accel distance ...
