which for a line pilot, or even an airline performance department, involves going OUTSIDE the scope of the approved data
In my previous plane, not civil, we had charts for, and calculated on each and every take-off, the following:

Critical Field Length, Refusal Speed (accel-stop), Vmcg, corrected for crosswind and runway friction), Vmca (OEI and Two-engine Inop), Vr, Vmbe, AEO ground run, Tire Limit Speed, V2 and Flap Retract Schedule and all the calcs to compute those speeds/distances. V1 was defined as the lower of Vr, Vmbe or Refusal Speed. The handling pilot reviewed the data on a 8x10 sheet of paper and confirmed the data. Very comprehensive.

How is it the civil AFM is so limited in data for pilot use? Is the regulatory bodies afraid of pilots doing the data? This is elemental data.
