I go aliong with Fright Level's view

Not many people usually do!

Have you ever seen an accelerate-stop distance in a single POH?

I guess you could always add the ground distance for take off and the ground distance for landing. Work it out for a 5kt tailwind at MTOW on a wet runway and you'll have a worst case figure to bear in mind when you operate from shorter strips.

Practise a couple of RTO's but wait until you need new tyres as under max braking you'll need to be using cadence braking to avoid locking up the wheels
