I'm assuming he's taken an intersection departure.
Just curious, do you have info that supports this? Not challenging the statement, just interested. I would have thought that intersection takeoffs were simply not done unless runway construction etc mandates such a departure.

The operation I am familiar with is capable of calculating takeoff data, (speeds for WAT data and flap position), for intersection takeoffs as well as displaced runway thresholds but it is policy that intersection takeoffs are not done, period. The fact that the runway is about 12,000ft long would have no bearing on the policy. So I would be interested in learning if the takeoff was done from an intersection. Obviously the takeoff data would be different vice the data for the entire length.
