So now that we have concurred that flying an un-flyable aircraft doesn't make sense....then it follows that a post V1 RTO, would be easier accomplished with the maximum available amount of runway in front of us.....

Ergo.. max power take offs, would burn up less runway to V1, meaning more runway for a post V1 RTO......vs... a reduced thrust take off....

So it would follow that the prudent pilot, trying to mitigate all risk from the flight, would embark to get to V1 as quickly as possible, using the minimum amount of runway, that in the event of a post V1 catastrophe, he has more runway to stop...

I would also suspect that if I hypothetically traveled up and down the runway at high speed....that I have a statistically higher chance of FOD, errant fuel trucks, aircraft taxing through intersections, other aircraft landing on me...it seems the least amount of time on the runway..reduces the risk of all these factors.....

So from a safety standpoint...wouldn't the safest option to be a max thrust take off vs reduced thrust take off?
