Being a very simple man, I like to think the results of reducing V1 under any circumstance maybe the difference between the following:
-Running off the end of the runway with the engines producing little forward thrust, at low speed, or
-Running off the end of the runway with the remaining engine(s) at full thrust at high speed.
I know which situation I would rather find myself faced with.
Anything else is just too much theory for me.
Yes I have passed the UKCAA performance A examination some 35 years ago. DC 10 it was based on, IIRC.
