I will NEVER do a intersection TO.....
does that make me a light plane hysterical pilot?
WHY TAKE THE RISK?
I do all the time, sometimes from an intersection WITH a tailwind, gasp! So let me get this straight, if the intersection departure was say 2800m in AMS but in London the runway was only 2600 full length you would not depart? What's the difference. If you calculate your V1 on a balanced field length are you trying to tell me you'd still try and stop anyway because you had runway remaining? If you have past V1 you are going regardless of runway remaining, the runway remaining is in fact useless.

Back to the thread.
