N704CK aborted take-off

H Finn,

I consider you put it wright.

Runway 20 didn't offer a great safety margin but should theoretically be long enough for safe take-off.

Reading this morning the report on the Halifax MK crash, I would just remind that if spares were carried on board their weight should be taken into account what we don't know at this stage of the investigations.

All pilots interviewed by the media when 02 and 20 were extensively used stated that the length is sufficient but the safety margin reduced.

Regards

Willy
