Even if you ARE ASDA linited, there are significant saftey margins built into the calculations, so it is still presumtuous to say you would definatley be off the end.

ASRAAMs point is well taken, but to me the thing is it really makes no difference. You should continue the takeoff after V1 if it is at all possible. If you have a truley unflyable malfunction, it is better to go off the end at low speed than dig a crater beyond the boundary....
