OK, my final (you'll be all pleased to hear!) word. A Tornado F3, in 'Light Combat' Fit at Max Reheat takes about 3000-3500 Ft to get to Unstick. Since Max Dry power is broadly half of max reheat, we can assume that the roll would be about twice as long, ie. 7000Ft. So, It would be possible to take off on a 9000Ft runway in dry power, but, and it's a BIG but, your take off safety margins in the event of a rejected take off would be non existant! One shot deal, any problems and you've had it. You wouldn't even to be able to take the overrun cable! (Too Fast for weight).

So, although theoretically 'possible'....... 'actually' very stupid. In a similar way, it is 'possible' to walk slowly accross the M1 blindfolded.

Please feel free to use any technique you like, but for me it's 2 good burners or nothing.

Regards to All,
