  • Define "Short runway"
  • I'm never in a rush to take off quickly
  • So inexperienced pilots don't need to do this on "short runways"?!
  • You will take off at the same speed but do you know why?
  • Only initially better acceleration but can you tell us why?
  • It does not boost your rate of climb, can you tell us why?
  • Finally this thread concerns use of the parking brake
