I do not write from personal experience ... my nephew is a Cpt on Jetstream 41 in Africa. He says that the W/M is astounding and gives a heck of a kick. If memory serves, "It allows you to climb out on one if you have a failure at rotation - rather than ploughing fields."

However, he said that the company restricted wet t/o due to the extra wear on the engines. Sorry but I do not know what engines their J41s have. He did tell me but he told me sooooo many things about his shiny aeroplane that I could not possibly remember them all. Not least as I was too busy enjoying the jumpseat ride.
