Velocity Vector

I was thinking..

What if we just look at this in simple kinematics terms (not sure of the spelling).

We can create a table that we enter with Vr, move across to TORA and find a resultant IAS 10 second trend minimum.

OK I know this is really vague but if you run the numbers it is interesting that you get a vector that can be anything from 10kts to 40 kts.

These are minimum averages and are independant of weight or conditions. A completely different input from that used in the LPC calcs.

So I start a take off with a fugure of say 25 kts in my head as a guide for this runway/Vr combination.

Just a thought.
