Time to v1 NOT suitable!!

Guys,

Although time to v1 looks suitable, it is not!!

It would be if there was a thrust problem. For a weight problem however, you are calculating time to a WRONG v1, with a WRONG thrust. On a short runway, I will not have any indication that I can still stop the aircraft after the WRONG time to the WRONG v1 if I suddenly weigh x tons MORE...
So it is the old saying... BS in, BS out.. and that goes for time to v1 as well...
