But what about the things that float and, Heaven Forbid, even DRIVE across the very same water that you plan to fly across at "ZOT" feet?
Righty-oo then....Not really planning on flying anywhere down low like that Oz......anyway,

The lowest acceleration height we use is about 500ft. Maybe I didn't make myself clear, I'm talking about the height at which you cease maintaining V2 and accelerate to clean speed. eg if you were departing over water, (lets make it 1400nm of water so Oz doesn't worry about it ending,) and got severe damage to an engine. If the acceleration height was 600ft, would you a) accelerate at 600ft whilst carrying out recall items or b) finish recall items and then accelerate.
Cheers
