And with Raisbeck, you are now limited to 28° flaps, so your approach speed is a couple of knots faster, so landing distance is longer or lower payload for a given runway. About 3,500 pounds on a 6,000 foot wet runway at sea level if I remember correctly.

Thrust off at the 20' RA call will work just fine, with a slight flare then push onto the runway. Might be different with 40° flap though. Such as this flight where power was chopped too early.
