The Dash-8-300 uses the flap zero take off to increase its RTOW with hot and high conditions. The flap 5 take off actually reduces the RTOW quite significantly. The runway we normally use for a flap zero take off is over 4000m long at 5500' amsl and is climb/obstacle limited and not runway limited. Its the second segment we need to perform in to carry the extra weight.
