Checkboard,
I appreciate where you are coming from. However, I would prefer to to make the fire fighting effort more challenging, but giving my customers a better chance of surviving.
Think of it this way, taking off in gusty winds: You place the aircraft nose into wind with the no.2 burning. Then a gust comes so the wind veers (in my latitudes anyhow) so now the wind is still blowing the flames onto the fuselage. Just imagine that happening after someone has opened the overwing and you have just cooked some customers.
Just my thoughts anyhow - I stick with conventional wisdom.
(90sec to get them out vs about 90 sec with a good fire team to get the RFF service there) What happens after everyone is out is up to the insurance team.
Brookfield - Our SOPs are similar. If you can't do a turn, don't. But if you do turn correctly, the increase in evac time will more than pay off the delay to vital actions.
BTW - Only ever seen LVP's in those sort of winds at JER....
